Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio predicts cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in hemodialysis patients.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:We investigate the mechanism of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) elevation, a useful prognostic marker in patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). METHODS:In this clinical study, we retrospectively searched for factors associated with NLR elevation in cardiovascular outpatients. In animal experiments u...
