Correlation Between the Leukocyte Count with Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio in Hyperuricemia

摘要

Hyperuricemia is a condition characterized by an increase in uric acid levels in the blood. It can cause inflammation. The sign of inflammation is to check the count of leukocyte and the parameter neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR). The condition of the number of leukocytes with NLR in hyperuricemia needs to be carried out research in order to know its use as a parameter of inflammation, especially for NLR parameter. The purpose of this study is to determine the correlation between the leukocytes counts with NLR in hyperuricemia, used a cross-sectional study design. The subject was male from 18 to 65 years, from 30 participants. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling that met the inclusion criteria: who was already, and participants who are sick or infected during the study. The results of the study with Spearman's test have a correlation coefficient value (r) between the number of leukocytes with NLR is 0,314, which means it has a sufficient correlation but not significant (0,091>0,05).
