Resumo

Fundamento: Identificar a atividade da doença no Lúpus Eritematoso Sistêmico (LES) é importante para a escolha do tratamento correto. A relação neutrófilo/linfócito (N/L) e plaqueta/ linfócito (P/L) tem sido considerada como reflexo do estado inflamatório em diversas situações. Neste estudo, objetivamos avaliar a associação de N/L e P/L com a atividade da doença do LES. Métodos: Este é um estudo transversal de 189 pacientes com LES para atividade da doença para SLEDAI-2K (SLE Disease activity index), VHS (velocidade de hemossedimentação), PCR (proteína C reativa) e hemograma com N/L e P/L Razão. Resultados: A relação N/L demonstrou correlação com SLEDAI (rho=0,24; p=0,0009) VHS (rho=0,17; p=0,02) e PCR (rho=0,23; p=0,004); P/L correlacionado com SLEDAI (rho=0,21; p=0,003), PCR (rho=0,26; p=0,001), VHS (rho=0,23; p=0,003) e níveis de anti-dsDNA (rho=0,29; p= 0,02) e teve correlação negativa com a hemoglobina (rho=-0,27; p=0,0001). Um ponto de corte de 2,28 na relação N/L teve sensibilidade de 68,6% e especificidade de 68,2% para doença ativa; um ponto de corte de 124,1 na relação P/L teve sensibilidade de 82,9 e especificidade de 41,1% para LES ativo. Conclusões: As relações N/L e P/L são úteis na avaliação da atividade da doença do LES.
