Evaluation of the role of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and mean platelet volume (MPV) time series as predictors of diagnosis and prognosis of hemotoxic snakebite

CONCLUSION: While NLR and PLR levels may be helpful in the diagnosis of snakebite, MPV plays no part in the prognosis of snakebite patients. Serial NLR, PLR initially, at 24 hours, and predischarge can be used to evaluate the early treatment response.PMID:37902066 | DOI:10.1080/1354750X.2023.2277668
