Popis: Introduction The mean platelet volume to lymphocyte ratio (MPVLR) and platelet distribution width to lymphocyte ratio (PDWLR) have the potential to serve as markers of inflammation which may indicate disease activity. The mean platelet volume to lymphocyte ratio and PDWLR were assessed in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in this study. Material and methods Sixty-two patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and 79 controls who were age and gender matched were included. Their sociodemographic information, as well as disease activity scores based on the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI), disease duration, current medications, lymphocytes, platelets, platelet distribution width (PDW), and mean platelet volume (MPV), anti-nuclear antibody (ANA), anti-double stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (anti-dsDNA), and complement components (C3, C4) were recorded. The correlations of MPVLR and PDWLR with disease activity and some laboratory parameters were analyzed. Results Lupus patients had significantly higher median (interquartile range) values for MPVLR and PDWLR than controls (5.69 [1.16–23.67] vs. 4.40 [2.78–11.93], p = 0.009) and 10.51 (2.87–79.37) vs. 5.21 (2.88–14.66), p 7.53 was the best PDWLR cut-off value for predicting SLE with a sensitivity of 71%, a specificity of 87% and an accuracy of 82.6%, whereas the optimum MPVLR cut-off value was > 6.46 with a sensitivity of 45.2%, a specificity of 88.9% and an accuracy of 76.8%. In addition, MPVLR had a significant positive correlation with SLEDAI (r = 0.34, p = 0.008). However, there was no significant correlation between PDWLR and SLEDAI (r = 0.23, p = 0.067). Furthermore, PDWLR had a significant positive correlation with PDW (r = 0.482, p
