Abstract:
Lymphocyte-related parameters in Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) have recently been investigated. However, knowledge of platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in AUD is limited. In this study, we compared complete blood count values of 31 AUD male patients and 31 healthy male controls. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of PLR (p = .123). When the age was controlled, there was a negative correlation between the duration of alcohol use and PLR (r = -0.567; p = .005). The significance of the parameters in the AUD group was found to be related to the duration of alcohol use.
