Objective: To assess the correlation between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio with hs-CRP as an inflammatory marker in patients with chronic kidney disease
Material and Methods: This Study was Cross-sectional study and conducted in the Department of Medical Unit-4 Services Hospital, Lahore. Duration of this study was 6 months after Synopsis approval. 115 patients with CKD (by operational definition) with peripheral edema were included in the study. A blood sample was then collected using a 5cc BD syringe under aseptic conditions. All samples were stored in a vial containing Ringer's solution. Then all samples were sent to the hospital laboratory for hs-CRP and NLR assessment. Reports were assessed and hs-CRP and NLR
Result: In this study, the correlation coefficient showed a weak positive correlation between hs-CRP and NLR. i.e. r= 0.399, p-value=0.000. Stratification for age, sex, BMI and duration of CKD showed a significant positive correlation between NLR and hs-CRP.
Conclusion: Moderately positive correlation between NLR and hs-CRP. Both markers have the potential to exclude persistent subclinical problems and may also perform risk stratification for CKD patients
