Elevated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio in peripheral blood are associated with higher risk of atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis
Elevated levels of NLR and PLR are associated with an increased risk of developing ARAS. Moreover, a higher NLR is linked to more severe stenosis in ARAS cases. Therefore, NLR and PLR have the potential to serve as novel indicators for diagnosing ARAS.
