Abstract:There is still a lack of effective non-invasive diagnosis of atherosclerotic renal stenosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS). Data of a total of 1062 patients (362 ARAS, 664 non-ARAS) were collected. Logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to analyze the collected patient data. NLR and PLR levels were signifi… Show more
