Relationship between late arteriovenous fistula (AVF) stenosis and neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in chronic hemodialysis patients

Abstract

For hemodialysis patients with increased level of NLR and decreased level of HDL, regular monitoring with regard to the development of AVF stenosis may be beneficial. Our study suggests that the mechanism of AVF stenosis might have similarities to that of atherosclerosis.
