Abstract

For rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, altering their disease activity is crucial to their treatment plan. Utilising the platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and lymphocyte/monocyte ratio (LMR) as indicators of inflammation as a result of inflammatory process that led to alteration in platelets, neutrophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes absolute number. We aim to provide an overview of the most recent research on the diagnostic potential of three systemic inflammatory ratios as indicators of rheumatoid activity:), platelet/lymphocyte (PLR), neutrophil/lymphocyte (NLR) and lymphocyte/monocyte (LMR) . We concentrated on the research that evaluated blood cell parameters' diagnostic usefulness depending on the ROC ie area under the curve found in current studies.
