Platelet-to-Lymphocyte, Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte, Lymphocyte-to-Monocyte and Aspartate-to-Alanine Aminotransferase Ratios in Carotid Artery Stenosis Underwent Stenting: Novel parameters in carotid artery stenosis

Background: Atherosclerosis is the major risk factor in the development of arterial diseases. Carotid artery stenosis is one of the arterial diseases that may cause stroke or cranial ischemic infarction. Relationship between atherosclerosis and inflammation was revealed in the literature. Various parameters are used to detect the inflammatory process. In this study we aimed to discuss the association between platelet-to-lymphocyte, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte, lymphocyte-to-monocyte, aspartate-to-alanine aminotransferase ratios and carotid artery stenosis in patients who underwent carotid artery stenting.
