Correlation between neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and C-reactive protein in diverse disease states in hospitalized patients

A significant correlation was shown to exist between CRP and NLR in patients with malignancies, non-infective non-inflammatory, inflammatory, and infective conditions and can therefore be used interchangeably to detect the presence of inflammation. Further exploration of these associations may contribute to a more nuanced understanding of the intricate relationships between different markers of inflammation and response to treatment.
