NEUTROPHIL-LYMPHOCYTIC RATIO (NLR) OR ALBUMIN-GLOBULIN RATIO (AGR) WHICH ONE IS A BETTER PREDICTOR MARKER IN ASSESSMENT OF SEVERITY OF COVID-19 INFECTION

The current study retrospectively enrolled, 75 confirmed COVID-19 patients who were hospitalized in a tertiary care hospital from December 2020 to February 2021. diagnosis was by RT-PCR nasopharyngeal swab.
 Demographic data and laboratory values collected medical records patient file. following variables recorded for each patient: age, sex, chest CT severity scores of lung involvement at admission, history Comorbidities like diabetes mellitus, hypertension noted findings Absolute neutrophils count, lymphocytes count Complete blood Serum albumin, globulin level Liver function test patient.
 This proves that N-L ratio is more accurate predictor SARS-COVID-19 infection than A-G with sensitivity, specificity, positive negative predictive value can be used as marker places where resources limited. However, larger subjects requires exact correlation.
