Schizophrenia diagnosis by total protein and NLR
AKWe tried to diagnose schizophrenia with a mathematical formula. To put it very simply, schizophrenia is accompanied by inflammation of the brain, and it can be determined if there are test values that are indicators of that inflammation.
For this reason, a simple diagnosis is possible if you know the gender, the total protein in the serum and the percentage of leukocyte blood picture. However, it indicates the possibility of schizophrenia in the acute phase that requires hospitalization in Japan.
The diagnostic equation for schizophrenia by discriminant analysis is shown below.
Gender: Male=0, Female=1,
TP: Total protein (serum total protein) is g/dl,
NLR=neutrophil% / lymphocyte %
See where the results obtained (discriminant scores) apply in the table below. Please consider it as a reference only.
| Discriminant score | Probability of schizophrenia |
| under -0.93 | 100% |
| -0.93 - -0.64 | 90-100% |
| -0.63 - -0.56 | 80-90% |
| -0.55 - -0.44 | 70-80% |
| -0.43 - -0.30 | 60-70% |
| -0.29 - -0.07 | 40-60% |
| -0.06 - 0.12 | 30-40% |
| 0.13 - 0.25 | 20-30% |
| 0.26 - 0.47 | 10-20% |
| above 0.48 | under 10％ |
