BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence indicates that several hematological markers can be used to evaluate treatment response, prediction, and early relapse detection in different inflammatory conditions. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-neutrophil ratio, mean platelet volume, and disease activity in patients with pemphigus vulgaris.
METHODS: Fifty-six patients (20 men, 36 women; mean age 54 ± 14 years) diagnosed with pemphigus vulgaris were included in this retrospective study. Patients were divided into those treated and not treated with rituximab (groups 1 and 2), and into those who did and did not develop relapse (groups 3 and 4). The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-neutrophil ratio and mean platelet volume were evaluated at the time of diagnosis, remission, and relapse. The relationship between each marker and disease stage was analyzed using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test for pairwise comparisons.
RESULTS: The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio showed a positive correlation with disease activity, while the platelet-to-neutrophil ratio and mean platelet volume showed a negative correlation. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio significantly decreased in remission (p < 0.001) and significantly increased in relapse (p < 0.01). The platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio significantly decreased in remission (p < 0.001) and showed no significant change in relapse. The platelet-to-neutrophil ratio significantly increased in remission (p < 0.001) and significantly decreased at relapse (p < 0.001). The mean platelet volume significantly increased in remission (p < 0.001) and decreased non-significantly at relapse. A more significant decrease in the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in remission was found in patients not treated with rituximab. No significant differences were observed between patients who developed relapse and those who did not.
CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-neutrophil ratio, and mean platelet volume can be useful markers for monitoring treatment response, while the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio can also assist in detecting early relapse.
