Association of neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio, platelet–lymphocyte ratio and monocyte‐to‐high‐density lipoprotein ratio with diabetic nephropathy

NLR was significantly higher in the diabetic nephropathy group than in the non-diabetic nephropathy group. This may suggest that NLR can be used as a prognostic marker in diabetic nephropathy. Although there was no significant relationship between MHR and albuminuria, MHR positively correlated with creatinine and negatively correlated with eGFR. Therefore, MHR may be useful in monitoring the development and progression of chronic kidney disease in diabetic patients rather than in the early stages. However, further studies are needed.
