Abstract

Abstract Neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio ( NLR ) was introduced as a potential marker to determine inflammation in end‐stage renal disease ( ESRD ) patients. Recently, platelet‐to‐lymphocyte ratio ( PLR ) and NLR were found to positively correlated with inflammatory markers including tumor necrosis f...
