To Study the Clinical and Laboratory Profile of Liver Abscess With Special Reference to Neutrophil-Tolymphocyte Ratio as a Feasible Prognostic Marker in Patients With Liver Abscess at Tertiary Care Center

Objectives: To investigates the clinical and laboratory profiles of liver abscess patients and investigates the Neutrophilto-Lymphocyte ratio as a potential prognostic marker. Total 65 patients with liver abscesses admitt Methods: ed through emergency and outpatient departments. All patients diagnosed with liver abscess via ultrasound, those requiring intervention for liver abscess, patients who provided written informed consent, and cases of ruptured liver abscess. Patients were classified into three socioeconomic classes using the modified Kuppuswamy's Socioeconomic Status scale. The study analyzed the distribution of li Results: ver abscess patients, focusing on age, gender, socioeconomic status, and alcoholism history. The average age was 43.91 ± 14.85 years, with 59 males and 5 females. Symptoms included fever, abdominal pain, anorexia, weight loss, nausea, vomiting, and clinical signs. The mean Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte ratio increased from conservative management to laparotomy, with liver abscess volume also increasing. The study rev Conclusion: ealed that liver abscess primarily affects middle-aged males, with the highest incidence in the 31-40 year age group. Management strategies include invasive treatments, NL ratio, ANC, and liver function tests, which determine abscess and inflammation severity.
