Abstract

Studies on neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio have grown recently following the discovery of their immense values in production and prognosis of many medical conditions. It was the desire of the study to establish a range for our environment. NLR is an implication by biomarker that can be used as indicator of systemic inflammation. It is calculated by dividing the absolute neutrophils by the absolute lymphocytes using peripheral samples but sometimes also from cells that infiltrates issues such as tumor. Samples were collected from 268 apparently healthy males aged (15-20years) their absolute neutrophil to lymphocyte counts were established using Mindray three- part differential machine of the ratio of neutrophil to lymphocyte, the calculated of the normal range is statistically determined. The result shows differences in the standard range it was compared. The result revealed that the mean divided by standard deviations (SD) value for NLR in Owerri Imo state was 1.10 ± 1.61.
