NLR、MLR、FAR与AIS患者静脉溶栓治疗预后关系的研究进展
Research Progress on the Relationship between NLR, MLR, FAR and Prognosis of AIS Patients Treated with Intravenous Thrombolytic Therapy
摘要: NLR (中性粒细胞与淋巴细胞比值)、MLR (单核细胞与淋巴细胞比值)以及FAR (纤维蛋白原与白蛋白比值)作为新兴的炎症指标,与多种心脑血管疾病的发生、发展及其预后有关,已越来越多地应用于脑卒中患者发病及预后研究。但目前国内鲜有关于上述指标与AIS (急性缺血性脑卒中)患者静脉溶栓治疗预后关系相关研究,本文对NLR、MLR、FAR与AIS患者溶栓治疗预后相关性研究进行总结,以期为溶栓治疗患者不良预后早期干预提供参考。
Abstract: NLR (the ratio of neutrophils and lymphocytes), MLR (monocyte and lymphocyte ratio) and FAR (fi-brinogen and albumin ratio) as indicators of inflammation of the emerging, are associated with many kinds of occurrence, development and prognosis of disease of heart head blood-vessel, and have been increasingly used in the study of pathogenesis and prognosis of patients with cerebral apoplexy. However, there are few domestic studies on the correlation between the above indicators and the prognosis of intravenous thrombolytic therapy in patients with AIS (acute ischemic stroke). In this paper, the studies on the correlation between the prognosis of thrombolytic therapy in pa-tients with NLR, MLR, FAR and AIS were summarized, so as to provide reference for the early inter-vention of poor prognosis in patients with thrombolytic therapy.
