Popis: Complete blood count (CBC)-derived parameters such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), eosinophil-to-lymphocyte (ELR) ratio, and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are sensitive markers of occult inflammation and disease activity for systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, esophageal cancer, etc. We assessed NLR, PLR, MLR, and ELR as indicators of inflammation in achalasia patients. This cross-sectional study included 103 achalasia patients and 500 healthy blood donor volunteers (HD). Demographic, clinical and laboratory information was collected. NLR, MLR, ELR and PLR were calculated. Peripheral Th22, Th17, Th2 and Th1 subsets were determined by flow cytometry. Correlation between hematologic indices and clinical questionnaires scores, HRM parameters and CD4+ T-cells were assessed. Hematologic parameters associated with the different achalasia subtypes were evaluated by logistic regression analysis. Hemoglobin, leukocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes, and platelets counts were significantly lower in achalasia patients vs controls. NLR (P = .006) and ELR (P
