Modified Glasgow Prognostic Score, and Neutrophil/lymphocyte and Platelet/lymphocyte Ratios in Different Stages of Silicosis

摘要

Until now, although comprehensive management strategies have improved treatment, there are no treatments to alleviate symptoms and slow disease progression[1]. In the past few decades, there has been increasing evidence that inflammation plays a very important role in silicosis. Injury-induced inflammation is an effective strategy to remove harmful stimuli and initiate a healing process. However, it might be harmful to the organism and result in a permanent disease state if the inflammation is prolonged[2].
