| Core Tip |
Inflammation plays a silent but an important role in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). This meta-analysis reveals that a simple, and inexpensive blood marker such as elevated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (NLR > 3) can significantly predict all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in this vulnerable group. With data from over 4300 patients, our study also identified age as a key confounder, urging clinicians to interpret NLR levels with caution in older adults. These findings position NLR as a powerful, accessible tool for early risk detection and tailored intervention in PD care. |
