Relationship of Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio and Serum Albumin Levels with C-Reactive Protein in Hemodialysis Patients: Results from 2 International Cohort Studies

Abstract

This study suggests that NLR could serve as a potential surrogate marker for CRP. Our results may add to diagnostic abilities in settings where CRP is not measured routinely in HD patients. NLR is easy to integrate into daily practice and may be used as a marker of systemic inflammation.
