Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the association between monocyte count/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) ratio (MHR) and lymphocyte count/monocyte count ratio (LMR) with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEXS) and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEXG).Materials and Methods: A total of 63 participants included in the study. Participants were divided into three groups. Twenty-one patients with PEXS regarded as group 1, 21 patients with PEXG regarded as group 2 and 21 participants without PEXS or PEXG regarded as the control group. Blood parameters were accessed from file records and database retrospectively. Results: The mean MHRs were significantly higher in group 1 and group 2 (p = 0.003, p = 0.036) than the control group, whereas there was no difference between group 1 and group 2 (p = 0.686). The mean LMRs were lower in group 1 and group 2 than the control group but the difference was insignificant (p = 0.232). Conclusion: We found that there is an association between higher MHR and lower LMR with PEXS.
