Parameter
| Biomarker | NLR | Full name | Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio | Molecular Type | Inflammation-related ratio (cellular level) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Molecular Formula | / | Molecular Weight | / | Core Functional Dimensions | Diagnosis |
| Disease | tuberculosis | Disease Subtypes | / | ||
| Organ | Lung | Test Sample / Technology Platform | Blood (routine blood test) | ||
| Pathobiological Mechanisms | Tuberculosis infection triggers an inflammatory response that affects the balance of neutrophils and lymphocytes | ||||
| Clinical Availability Status | Research Exploration: Widely explored for TB diagnosis, but lacks specificity | ||||
| Notes and Dynamics | Non-tuberculosis-specific indicators, associated with other infectious diseases, have controversial cut-off values and need to be used in combination with other markers | ||||
