DESCRIPTION OF NEUTROPHIL-LYMPHOCYTE RATIO IN PATIENTS WITH THYROID NODULES DESCRIPTION STUDY AT DR SOETOMO HOSPITAL PERIOD JANUARY 2018 – DECEMBER 2020

Background:Thyroid nodules are found in more than 50% of patients using ultrasonography. The incidence thyroid the population is increasing, between 5% and 15% malignant nodules. In today's era, to identify exact nature very necessary, because cancer most common endocrine malignancy that occurs inflammatory process plays a major role many events, including tumor development, growth, clinical presentation, prognosis. neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) simple index systemic response. This study aims describe neutrophils lymphocytes at RSUD dr. Soetomo Surabaya. Method: 102 cases nodules, both benign malignant, were retrospectively analyzed. We evaluated neutrophil lymphocyte with postoperative pathological anatomic outcomes. Complete blood count differential taken before surgery. NLR was calculated by dividing preoperative count. Samples categorized into low grade (NLR < 1.91) high 1.92). Results: There statistically significant difference neutrophil-lymphocyte (p=0.001). Low values <1.91 25% 9.82% High 1.92 40.18% Conclusion: Patients tend have NLR, whereas lower NLR.
