Variability of the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio in patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global public health issue characterized by a state of persistent inflammation that leads to immune system dysregulation. The lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) has emerged as an inflammatory biomarker of interest for monitoring the progression of this condition.

Objective

To determine the clinical-epidemiological, biochemical, and hematological characteristics associated with differences in the LMR in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis.

Materials and methods

A retrospective cohort study was conducted by reviewing the medical records of 120 CKD patients on hemodialysis treated at a private nephrology center in Lima, Peru. Patients were divided into two groups based on the median LMR value: high L
