Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio and Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio as Biomarkers for the Prediction of Activity and Recurrence of Hepatic Echinococcosis: A Retrospective Observational Cohort Study

PLR and NLR are significantly elevated in hepatic hydatid cysts, especially in active stages. PLR independently predicts recurrence, highlighting the role of systemic inflammation in cyst persistence. Further studies should validate its prognostic value and optimal cutoffs.
