Core Tip |
The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and neutrophil-to-platelet ratio (NPR) are emerging biomarkers used to predict early outcomes following liver transplantation. Elevated NLR indicates systemic inflammation, which can signal complications like infection or rejection. High NPR values can reflect underlying inflammation and potential vascular complications. Both ratios are calculated from routine blood tests, making them cost-effective and readily available. Studies suggest that higher pre-transplant NLR and NPR levels are associated with increased risk of poor graft function, longer hospital stays, and mortality. Monitoring these ratios helps in identifying at-risk patients, guiding post-operative care, and improving overall transplant success. |
