Popis: AIMS: Inflammation is a cardinal pathogenetic mechanism in diabetic kidney injury (DKI). The detection of microalbuminuria (MA) is very important in preventing end-stage renal failure in diabetic subjects. A combination of high monocyte and low lymphocyte counts are used as a marker of inflammation. Monocyte to lymphocyte ratio (MLR) is considered as a marker in inflammatory diseases. We aimed to evaluate the MLR levels in diabetic subjects as a predictive marker in detecting MA. METHODS: A total of 212 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were included in the study. Patients with T2DM were divided into two groups as MA and normoalbuminuria (NA). MLR of the groups were compared. RESULTS: There were 72 patients in MA and 140 patients in NA group. MLR of the MA and NA groups were 0.247 (0.131–0.540) and 0.211 (0.052–0.390), respectively (p
