Abstract

Background: Hashimoto thyroiditis is sustained by thyroid-directed adaptive immunity, yet its biological effects may extend beyond the gland. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are inexpensive blood count-derived indices proposed to reflect this systemic component
