Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), especially those with inflammation, are at an increased risk of premature mortality. We evaluated the association between the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and cardiovascular events in Japanese ESRD patients who had just started renal replacement therapy (RRT). A high NLR was associated with inflammation and the increased risk of cardiovascular disease.Since increasing neutrophil count reflects inflammation and lower lymphocyte counts may reflect general stress and malnutrition, NLR is hypothesized to be more sensitive at detecting patients at high risk for CVD.
