Prognostic value of platelet to lymphocyte ratio on cardiovascular complications in chronic hemodialysis patients this study was done to determine the prognostic value of PLR on cardiovascular complications like vascular calcifications and atherosclerosis in carotid and coronary arteries in chronic hemodialysis patients

Prognostic value of platelet to lymphocyte ratio on cardiovascular complications in chronic hemodialysis patients this study was done to determine the prognostic value of PLR on cardiovascular complications like vascular calcifications and atherosclerosis in carotid and coronary arteries as these complications are common and well-known causes of morbidity and mortality in chronic hemodialysis patients
