Variability of the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio in patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis
A reduced LMR is a useful inflammatory biomarker for monitoring CKD severity. Increased age, prolonged duration of hemodialysis (more than three years), presence of T2DM, and elevated ferritin levels are associated with lower LMR values. In contrast, higher hematocrit levels and the presence of an arteriovenous fistula are directly associated with higher LMR values.
