AIM: To evaluate Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) and Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) in patients with HP. METHOD: A sample of 140 total patients, 50 having chronic HP and 20 having acute HP, and a control group of 70 more patients were included in this retrospective study conducted with hospital Ethical Committee approval. RESULTS: PLR and NLR values were significantly higher in all HP patients than in the control group ( p <0.001). In addition, these biomarkers were significantly higher in patients with acute HP than in the chronic HP group (p = 0.017 and p = 0.044, respectively). The cutoff values for PLR and NLR were: (1) 177 (p = 0.020) and 2.76 (p <0.0001) between the HP patients and the control group, and, (2) 110 (p = 0.0054) and 2.15 (p = 0.03), between the acute and chronic HP groups.
