TI  - The relationship between platelet to lymphocyte ratio and the diurnal variation of hypertension
AB  - Aim: Platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) predicts worse outcome in cardiovascular disease. However data is limitted aboutthe role of PLR in the diurnal variation of hypertension. In this study we evaluated the relationship between the diurnalvariation of hypertension and PLR.Material and Methods: The study included a total of 247 essential hypertensive patients. All patients underwent 24-hour ambulatory blood monitoring. Thereafter hypertensive patients were divided into two groups: 64 dipper patients(30 female, mean age 53.8±12.9 years) and 38 non-dipper patients (18 female, mean age 52.6±12.5years). Completeblood count and biochemistry were measured by standard methods. PLR was measured by dividing platelet count tolymphocyte count.Results: Non-dipper hypertensives had signifi cantly higher PLR levels than dippers (127.9±32.16 vs 103.4±10.67, p<0.001).There was a negatif correlation between percentage of sistolic and diastolic blood pressure fall and PLR.Conclusion: We demonstrated that PLR, an inexpensive and easily accessible biomarker, is significantly higher innondipper hypertensives than the dipper hypertensives.
