Correlation between platelet to lymphocyte ratio and microangiopathyin type 2diabetes mellitus / 实用医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the relationship between platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and microangiopathyin type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods In this case-control study, the clinical data on 428 adult patients with type 2 diabetic microangiopathy in our hospital from January 2009 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. PLR, age, sex, fasting blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, total cholesterol and triglyceride were tested to investigate their relationship with type 2 diabetic microangiopathy. Results Logistic regression analysis showed that PLR was a risk factor of type 2 diabetic microangiopathy (OR = 3.162, 95%CI:1.556 ~ 7.421, P < 0.05). Conclusions Greater PLR is closely related to type 2 diabetic microangiopathy, and we should pay attention to type 2 diabetic microangiopathy with a greater PLR in clinical practice.
