Advice

The NLR should always be interpreted in the clinical context of the patient and not be used in isolation to diagnose or rule-out disease, however it may be a more useful test than ones medicine routinely uses, like the WBC.

Management

The NLR can be trended over time which has been shown to be useful in prognostication of several diseases including intracranial hemorrhage and sepsis.
