TI  - The Relation Between Blood Pressure Reverse-Dipping and Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio in Hypertensive Patients
AB  - Reverse dipper hypertension and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been investigated as a predictor for cardiovascular risk. The relationship between NLR and other circadien blood pressure (BP) patterns has been showed. The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between NLR and BP reverse dipper pattern in patients with hypertension. 144 hypertensive patients (66 males, 78 females) were enrolled the study. BP patterns were evaluated with 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM). Baseline NLR was measured by dividing neutrophil count to lymhocyte count. There was significantly increased NLR in reverse dippers (2,36±1,68 ) than dippers (1,81±0,69) of hypertension (p=0,040 ). NLR was negatively correlated with the decline rate of nocturnal systolic BP(r=-0,193;p=0.021) and diastolic BP( r=-0,160; p=0,057). Our study provides a possible association between NLR and reverse dipper pattern, but to report NLR as an independent predictor of reverse dipper pattern further studies are required.
