Aim: To evaluate the relationship between endometrial polyp and parameters of complete blood count, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR). Materials and Methods: We reviewed medical files and pathological reports of patients who underwent hysteroscopy (H/S) procedure between January 2014 and June 2015 in Dumlupınar University Kütahya Evliya Celebi Training and Research Hospital. Totally 96 patients were included in the study, and based on H/S examination, the cases were classified into two groups as those who did not have any endometrial pathology (control group, n=45) and those who had endometrial polyp (polyp group, n=51). The groups were compared in terms of complete blood count parameters, NLR and PLR. Additionally, the polyp group was further divided into two subgroups according to number of polyps, and the subgroups were compared with each other. Results: Mean platelet volume (MPV) was 8.6±0.98 fL and 8.31±0.89 fL in the control and polyp groups, respectively, and there was no statistically significant difference between the groups (p=0.13). Mean PLR value was 138.98±60.51 in control group, and 146.89±61.33 in polyp group (p=0.52). Mean NLR value was 2.45±1.45 in control group, and 2.79±2.25 in polyp group (p=0.81). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups regarding complete blood count parameters, PLR and NLR values. However, according the results of subgroup analysis, MPV was significantly higher in the group with two or more polyps compared to the group with one polyp (p=0,035). Conclusion: In conclusion, it was determined that there was no significant relationship of endometrial polyp with complete blood count parameters, including NLR and PLR.
