Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte & Platelet Ratio (NLPR)

• This combined ratio captures both inflammatory (NLR component) and thrombotic (platelet) aspects of disease processes
• It may provide additional prognostic information beyond NLR alone in certain conditions, particularly in oncology and cardiovascular disease

(Neutrophils × Platelets) / Lymphocytes

• NLPR combines neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, and platelet count to create a comprehensive inflammatory and thrombotic index

• Elevated NLPR: No direct symptoms but indicates heightened inflammatory and potentially prothrombotic state
• May be associated with underlying disease activity

• High NLPR: Active inflammation, infection, cancer, cardiovascular disease, stress
• The ratio increases when neutrophils and platelets are elevated relative to lymphocytes
