Pathogenesis of hematological parameters in hypertension

Abstract

Hypertension is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease and is often assessed in clinical settings using reference ranges for various hematological and immunological parameters. This review article specifically focuses on red blood cells, hematocrit, platelet count, white blood cells, lymphocytes, neutrophils, monocytes, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio, and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio in hypertension. It also highlights the pathophysiological aspects of hematological parameters in the pathogenesis of hypertension.
