Objective
Impairment of renal function is associated with increased inflammation and cardiovascular risk. Nonetheless, the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a combination of 2 independent markers of inflammation and regarded as a simple non-specific marker of inflammation. We investigated the association between NLR and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).
Material-Methods
Among patients admitted to the outpatient clinic, those with documented CAD were enrolled into this study. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to their eGFR values measured using four variable MDRD equation. Group 1 = patients with eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73m2 and Group 2 = patients with >= eGFR 60/min/1.73m2. Baseline demographic and laboratory findings were compared between two groups.
