Amaç: Sjögren sendromu (SjS), ekzokrin bezlerin, fokal lenfositik infiltrasyonu ile karakterize, genetik yatkınlık zemininde çevresel faktörlerin etkisiyle gelişen kronik otoimmün bir hastalıktır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, primer Sjögren sendromu (pSS) tanılı hastalardaki nötrofil/lenfosit oranı (NLO) ve trombosit/lenfosit oranı (TLO) değerlerinin tespit edilmesi ve hastalık aktivitesi ile olan ilişkisinin araştırılmasıdır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya, Ankara Dışkapı Yıldırım Beyazıt Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Romatoloji polikliniğinde izlenen 55 pSS tanılı hasta ve 45 sağlıklı kontrol dâhil edildi. Demografik özellikler ve laboratuvar verileri retrospektif olarak kaydedildi. Bulgular: Her 2 grup arasında yaş ve cinsiyet açısından anlamlı farklılık saptanmadı. TLO değeri, pSS grubunda kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı olarak yüksekti [sırasıyla 162,53±84,49 (65,71-484), 128,04±34,63 (63,68-198,46)] (p=0,032). NLO değeri, pSS ve kontrol grubu olguları arasında farklılık göstermedi [sırasıyla 2,42±2,33 (0,67-17,40), 2,0±0,65 (0,97-3,62)] (p=0,843). Aktif ve inaktif hastalık durumlarına göre bakıldığında NLO ve TLO oranı arasında anlamlı farklılık saptanmadı. TLO seviyeleri ile eritrosit sedimentasyon hızı (ESH) arasında pozitif bir korelasyon saptandı (r=0,341; p=0,011). Sonuç: TLO düzeyleri pSS hastalarında, sağlıklı kontrollere göre anlamlı olarak artmıştır. Ayrıca TLO değerinin ESH ile pozitif yönde korele olduğu gösterildi. TLO, pSS'deki hastalık aktivitesini tahmin etmek için yararlı bir inflamatuar belirteç olabilir.

Objective: Sjögren's syndrome (SjS) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by focal lymphocytic infiltration of the exocrine glands and developed by environmental factors on the basis of genetic predisposition. The aim of this study was to determine the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) values in the pSS patients and to investigate their association with disease activity. Material and Methods: 55 patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) and 45 healthy controls followed in rheumatology outpatient clinic of Ankara Dışkapı Yıldırım Beyazıt Training and Research Hospital were included in this study. Demographic characteristics and laboratory data were retrospectively recorded. Results: No difference was determined between the groups in terms of age and gender. The PLR values were found to be statistically significantly higher in the pSS group compared to the healthy controls [162.53±84.49 (65.71-484), 128.04±34.63 (63.68-198.46) respectively] (p=0.032). NLR values were found similar in pSS and healthys [2.42±2.33 (0.67-17.40), 2.0±0.65 (0.97-3.62) respectively] (p=0.843). The level of NLR and PLR values were similar in active and inactive pSS patients. Correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between PLR levels and ESR levels (r=0.341, p=0.011). Conclusion: PLR levels are significantly elevated in pSS patients compared to healthy controls. Also, it was shown that PLR value correlated positively with ESR. PLR might be a useful inflammatory marker to, predict disease activity in pSS.
