Popis: SUMMARY The aim of this study was to evaluate complete blood cell count parameters including red blood cell indices, white blood cell subtypes, and platelet indices for predicting deep vein thrombosis (DVT). A total of 71 (44 male and 27 female) patients with acute femoral and popliteal DVT diagnosed by doppler ultrasonography during a period of seven years (2011-2017) were included in the study. By matching age and gender, 142 (88 male and 54 female) subjects diagnosed with venous insufficiency in the same time interval were assigned as control group. Data were obtained by reviewing hospital records of the study participants, including clinical and demographic characteristics and complete blood cell parameters. Frequencies of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic renal failure, and coronary arterial disease were higher in DVT group as compared to non-DVT group (p0.05). Hypertension, hemoglobin, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, and platelet to lymphocyte ratio were independent risk factors for DVT. We found that hypertension, anemia, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, and platelet to lymphocyte ratio were independent risk factors for DVT. In particular, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and hemoglobin may be used as novel, inexpensive, and reliable diagnostic tools for DVT.
