This study was the first study to examine the inflammatory markers such as NLR, MLR, PLR, and MHR levels in same patients with BD during their three episodes of disorder. Both NLR and MHR values in manic and depressive episodes were higher than euthymic episodes. NLR and MHR were useful inflammatory markers to evaluate inflammation in bipolar patients.
