Analysis of Hematological Indices in Patients of Systemic Lupus Erythematous and Its Correlation with SLEDAI-2K.

: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease which is characterized by chronic multisystem inflammation and end-organ damage. In recent times there has been a need for new hematological markers to assess disease activity in SLE patients specifically, which can be easily available like eosinophil, basophil, neutrophil, monocytes, and platelet to lymphocyte ratios (ELR, BLR, NLR, MLR, and PLR, respectively). : The present investigation determines the use of a different peripheral hematological marker to assess SLE activity in 106 patients attended for medical care at Sawai Mansingh (SMS) Medical College and attached hospital, Jaipur.
