Abstract: Objective To analyzed the relationship between Neutrophil/Lymphocyte Ratio( NLR) and Parkinson’s disease( PD) with peripheral neuropathy. Methods Electromyography was performed in 97 patients,among which 38 patients with Parkinsons disease with peripheral neuropathy were the case group; 59 patients with Parkinson’s disease without peripheral neuropathy were the control group. The blood routine of the two groups was performed,the neutrophil and lymphocyte counts were recorded,and the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio was calculated. The gender,age,duration of disease,and Hoehr-Yahr( HY) grading were recorded,and the factors were compared. The difference between the two groups were analyzed. Results The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio in the case group was higher than thatin the control group( P < 0. 05).There was no significant difference in the sex,age,Parkinson’s disease courses between the case group and the control group( P > 0. 05). Conclusion The elevated neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio may be a risk factor for peripheralnerve damage in Parkinson’s disease.
