Abstract:

ObjectiveTo explore the prognostic value of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratioNLRand platelet-lymphocyte ratio PLRin patients with maintenance hemodialysisMHD. MethodsMedical records of 119 patients who underwent MHD treatment at Baoshan People's Hospital from January 2017 to October 2020 were collectedand the patients were grouped according to the median PLR and NLRand the clinical data of each group were evaluated. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to analyze all-cause mortality rates in the NLR and PLR groups. COX regression models were used to analyze the risk factors for all-cause mortality in the patients. The predictive value of NLR for all-cause mortality in MHD patients was evaluated using receiver operator characteristicROCcurve. ResultsIn the PLR groupthere were no significant differences in laboratory parameters and all-cause mortality rates between the two groupsP>0.05. In the NLR group,  there were significant differences in albuminhypersensitive C-reactive protein hsCRP), single-pool urea clearance rateand all-cause mortality rates between the two groups P<0.05. The adjusted COX regression model showed that the increasing ageelevated NLRhsCRP and decreased single-pool urea clearance rate were independent predictors of all-cause mortality rate. The ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve for NLR in predicting all-cause mortality in MHD patients was 0.71695%CI0.598-0.833), with a sensitivity of 78.30% and specificity of 64.60%. ConclusionNLR can independently predict the prognosis of MHD patients.
