The Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index Predicts Clinical Outcomes in Kidney Transplant Recipients

Abstract

SII demonstrated limited utility as an independent predictor of outcomes after KTx. However, in combination with other clinically relevant parameters, SII is a useful predictor of post-KTx prognosis. Validation of this novel inflammatory biomarker in a multi-institutional study is needed to further elucidate its practical applications in transplantation.
