The Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) is a significant biomarker used in live blood analysis to assess the balance between neutrophils and lymphocytes, two critical types of white blood cells involved in the body’s immune response. Neutrophils are the first responders to infection or injury, playing a key role in the inflammatory response, while lymphocytes are responsible for adaptive immunity, including the recognition of pathogens and immune memory.
