Clinical pertinence of neutrophil-to- lymphocyte ratio among hypertensives with different grades and duration of hypertension - an insight.

CONCLUSION: Our study gives a new insight with a rise in NLR in early years and even among prehypertensives and stage 1 systolic hypertension under strict criterion. This could be utilized as an early predictive tool, relating the inflammatory process and hypertension which on further intervention could slow the progression of the disease process. ABBREVIATIONS: NLR: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio; BP: Blood pressure. PMID: 30183451 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
