Methods: Thirty-five patients with KC and 30 healthy people (control group) were included in the study. Complete blood count measurements were performed in all subjects, and NLR, PLR and the CRP/albumin ratio were calculated. Results: NLR was determined as 2.01 ± 0.53 in patients with KC and 1.97 ± 0.41 in the control group. PLR was 146.20 ± 23.32 in the KC group and 121.45 ± 31.75 in the healthy group. The CRP/albumin ratio was determined as 0.33 ± 0.09 in the KC group and 0.29 ± 0.11 in the healthy group. Conclusion: Although no significant difference was found between the groups in terms of NLR, CRP/albumin ratio and RDW levels, PLR was significantly higher in the KC group. © 2020 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.Taylor and Francis Ltd.2021Articlehttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/ebyu/13314https://doi.org/10.1080/09273948.2020.17416480927-3948enOcular Immunology and Inflammationinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://ebyu-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/ebyu/13314
