Abstract

Objective: Hashimoto thyroiditis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by antibodies against the thyroid gland. Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and platelet/lymphocyte ratio are parameters used to show inflammation. In this study, it was planned to evaluate systemic inflammation using neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and platelet/lymphocyte ratio in children and adolescents with euthyroid Hashimoto thyroiditis.

Özet

Amaç: Hashimoto tiroiditi, tiroit bezine karşı oluşmuş antikorlar aracılığıyla gelişen kronik inflamatuvar bir hastalıktır. Nötrofil/lenfosit oranı ve platelet/lenfosit oranı inflamasyonu göstermede kullanılan parametrelerdir. Bu çalışmada ötiroid Hashimoto tiroiditli çocuk ve adölesanlarda nötrofil/lenfosit oranı ve platelet/lenfosit oranı kullanılarak sistemik inflamasyonun değerlendirilmesi planlandı.
