Evaluation of the hematologic indices in patients with thyrotoxicosis with distinct etiologies: a case-control study

Aim: Thyrotoxicosis is a clinical state of inappropriately high levels free T4 (thyroxine) and/or T3 (tri-iodothyronine) in the body caused by distinct etiologies including Graves’ disease (GD), subacute thyroiditis (SAT), toxic adenoma and multinodular goiter (TMNG). Simple hematologic indices such as neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte (PLR) mean platelet volume (MPV) have increasingly been mentioned measures presence severity thyrotoxicosis. In this study, we aimed to analyze whether there link between these peripheral blood parameters thyrotoxicosis.
 Material Methods: A total 46 GD, TMNG, 39 TA 45 SAT patients control subjects were studied. Laboratory all recorded NLR, PLR MPV values from complete cell counts. 
 Results: This study showed that NLR are elevated with comparison other thyrotoxic patient groups controls. The post hoc analysis each revealed statistically different group TA, healthy significant decrease level was demonstrated thyrotoxicosis (p
