The GH\/IGF-1 axis and immune cells interactions are hypothesized to be involved in subclinical inflammation. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the differences in neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR) ratios, and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in GH-secreting adenomas compared with non-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) concerning clinical and radiological findings. After evaluation of 665 patients with pituitary tumors, 62 individuals with newly diagnosed acromegaly and 134 with NFPAs were enrolled in the analysis. The control group consisted of 120 healthy individuals. Fifty-eight patients with acromegaly were re-evaluated after medical or surgical therapies. NLR, PLR, SII values, and neutrophil count were significantly higher (p \u2264 0.001), whereas lymphocyte count was lower in acromegaly than in NFPAs (p = 0.001). No significant differences between NFPAs and controls were observed in analyzed ratios. Higher preoperative NLR, PLR, SII values were found in patients who failed to achieve a cure with surgery (p &lt; 0.05). Although NLR, PLR, and SII values were significantly higher in acromegaly, these indices cannot be used to discriminate GH-secreting pituitary tumors from NFPAs. Treatment of acromegaly decreased the value of NLR and SII, but it requires further studies to consolidate the real clinical role of these inflammation-related ratios.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm10173997","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,6]],"date-time":"2021-09-06T13:15:56Z","timestamp":1630934156000},"page":"3997","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte, Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratios, and Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index as Potential Biomarkers of Chronic Inflammation in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Acromegaly: A Single-Centre Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3744-9058","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joanna","family":"Szyde\u0142ko","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology, Diabetology and Metabolic Diseases, Medical University of Lublin, Jaczewskiego 8, 20-090 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6216-9934","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Magdalena","family":"Szyde\u0142ko-Gorzkowicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Perinatology, Independent Public Clinical Hospital No. 4 in Lublin, Jaczewskiego 8, 20-954 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Beata","family":"Matyjaszek-Matuszek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology, Diabetology and Metabolic Diseases, Medical University of Lublin, Jaczewskiego 8, 20-090 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"337","DOI":"10.2147\/IJGM.S169611","article-title":"Acromegaly: A challenging condition to diagnose","volume":"11","author":"Aldallal","year":"2018","journal-title":"Int.
