Neutrophil-to-Cholesterol HDL Ratio (NHR)
Explanation: The Neutrophil-to-HDL Cholesterol ratio connects the immune system's inflammatory activity to the metabolic health. Neutrophils are the most abundant white blood cells and serve as first responders to infection and tissue damage, but when chronically elevated, they contribute to inflammation inside artery walls, promoting plaque formation and instability. HDL cholesterol counterbalances this by removing cholesterol from arteries, reducing oxidative stress, and calming inflammatory responses.
Test purpose: Reflect systemic inflammation associated with cardiovascular and metabolic risk
Note: Universal clinical reference ranges have not been established for this calculated marker. Available cutoffs vary by population and clinical context. This value should be interpreted alongside individual component values, clinical history, and other relevant biomarkers.
