Neutrophil–Lymphocyte Ratio Is a Reliable Predictive Marker for Early-Stage Diabetic Nephropathy Wanjing Huang, Jinhua Huang, Qingxing Liu, Fuchuan Lin, Zhihao He, Zhenhua Zeng, Lei He Disclosures Clin Endocrinol. 2015;82(2):229-233. Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a common complication in diabetics.
Recent evidence suggests that neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) affects the development and acceleration of some diabetic complications. Increased NLR was significantly associated with DN, and high NLR values may be a reliable predictive marker of early-stage DN.
