RDW to Platlet Count Ratio in CKD Patients

Red Blood Cell Distribution Width to Platelet Count Ratio as a Predictor of Cardiovascular Complications in CKD Patients

The aim of the study is to determine Red blood cell distribution width to platelet count ratio as a predictor of cardiovascular complications in CKD patients

comparative study between RDW to Platlet count ratio in CKD patients without cardiovascular complications and CKD patients with cardiovascular complications
