| Popis: | Several epidemiological studies have shown that chronic inflammation plays a central role in the pathogenesis of diabetes and its various complications. Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a novel potential marker in determining inflammation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between diabetic microvascular complications, namely diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio in type 2 diabetic patients. The study took place in the Unit of Diabetes & Metabolism at the Faculty of Medicine, Alexandria University, Alexandria, Egypt, and included a total of 280 subjects, 200 male patients with type 2 diabetes, 108 of them having one or more microvascular complication, and a control group including 80 healthy age and sex-matched subjects. Results of our study showed that neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) values were significantly higher in diabetic patients with retinopathy (p |
