Neutrophil-to Lymphocyte and Monocyte-to-Lymphocyte Ratios in Exudative Pleural Effusion

NCT07003204 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 60

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Exudative pleural effusion (EPE) presents a diagnostic challenge, requiring accurate biomarkers to predict outcomes and guide treatment. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) in pleural fluid are emerging as potential prognostic markers. We aimed to assess the diagnostic and prognostic utility of pleural fluid NLR and MLR in EPE.
