We aimed to investigate the relationship between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), C-reactive protein (CRP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in hypertension. Methods: This study included 386 patients with hypertension. Mann-Whitney U test and multivariate binary logistic regression analysis were used to investigate the relationship between NLR, CRP, BNP, and LVH in patients with hypertension, as well as compare the levels of NLR, CRP, and BNP in the four configurations. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used to compare the diagnostic efficacy of NLR, CRP, and BNP on LVH. Results: The NLR and CRP and BNP levels of the LVH group were significantly higher than those of the non-LVH group. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, NLR as well as age, BMI, and SBP were associated with LVH. In addition, in patients with eccentric and concentric hypertrophy, the NLR and CRP and BNP levels were higher than those of the normal left ventricular geometry and concentric remodeling groups. The cutoff values of NLR, CRP, and BNP obtained by ROC curve were 2.185, 2.205, and 283.45, respectively, for the prediction of LVH. Conclusions: NLR is independently associated with LVH in patients with hypertension, and this is consistent with the diagnostic efficacy of CRP and BNP, which may be a simple and convenient indicator for judging LVH.
