The prognostic value of monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio in peritoneal dialysis patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) is considered as a new inflammation marker. This study was aimed to investigate the prognostic value of MLR for all-cause mortality and new-onset cardiovascular disease (CVD) events in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.

Methods

This study enrolled patients receiving PD treatment for  ≥ 3 months. Baseline characteristics were obtained within 1 week before PD catheterization. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was conducted to determine the optimal cut-off value of MLR. The Kaplan-Meier curve estimated the cumulative survival rate and new CVD free survival rate. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models were preformed to investigate the association between MLR and clinical outcomes.
