Abstract
Highlights
This study is the first study to confirm that the neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an independent predictive factor for kidney function decline among individuals with diabetes and prediabetes.
Calculating the NLR is easy and inexpensive, so we believe that with more research support the NLR will be used as an effective indicator in the clinical management of individuals with diabetes and prediabetes.
