Aim. To study the significance of various hematological indices as markers of laboratory inflammatory activity in patients with trophic ulcers of the lower extremities and compare them with similar indices in old patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Materials and methods. The study enrolled 256 patients; 166 patients with trophic ulcers – in the main group, 90 with CAD, but without ul-cers – in the comparison group. The main group consisted of 31.9% men and 68.1% women. The mean age of patients with trophic ulcers reached 80.8±10.1 years (from 61 to 101 years); 30.1% of patients were centenarians. The ratio of the number of neutrophils to lymphocytes (NLR), neu-trophils to monocytes (NMR), platelets to lymphocytes (PLR), lymphocytes to monocytes (LMR) and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII –platelet count хNLR) were determined. Results. The mean count of leukocytes in patients with trophic ulcers was 7.1±2.6×109/l, neutrophils – 4.7±2.3×109/l, lymphocytes –1.8±2.2×109/l, monocytes – 0.6±0.3×109/l, platelets – 278.5±110×109/l. The mean values of NLR in the group of patients with ulcers reached 3.6, NMR – 15.4, PLR – 214.1, LMR – 5.9, SII – 1102.3. In patients with trophic ulcers, the count of leukocytes (6.7×109/l and 5.9×109/l; p=0.002), neutrophils (4.2×109/l and 3.7×109/l; р=0.002) and platelets (252×109/l and 205×109/л; p |
