Assessment of C-Reactive Protein, Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio and Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio in Patients at Different Stages of Chronic Kidney Disease
Abstract:Background: Low-grade chronic inflammation is an important feature of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Aim: To determine the values of C-reactive protein (CRP), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in patients with different stages of CKD and to examine how they change depending on the progression of renal damage.
Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive comparative study included 157 subjects at… Show more
