Elevated Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio in Metabolic Syndrome Is Associated with Increased Risk of Colorectal Adenoma

摘要

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is an important cardiovascular risk factor for insulin resistance and has been linked to colorectal adenoma via inflammation. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been suggested as an important inflammatory marker. We initiated this investigation to determine the relationship between colorectal adenoma and NLR in patients with MetS.
