The platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) have been studied widely in cancer diseases. However, their correlation with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation of PLR and NLR with disease severity in patients with HCV-related liver disease and the virological response in chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients.
