Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is serious threat to human health. Therefore, early prediction of its occurrence is important. This study aimed to assess the predictive significance of monocyte–lymphocyte ratio (MLR) for DN. A total of 301 patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), including 212 T2D patients without diabetic-related complications and 99 DN patients, were enrolled. Peripheral white blood cells were measured before treatment to calculate MLR, and the risk factors and predictive significance for T2D and DN were assessed. T2D patients without diabetic-related complications had higher MLR than control patients (P |
