Neutrophil:Lymphocyte Ratio as a Predictive Factor for Success of Nephron-Sparing Procedures in Patients with Emphysematous Pyelonephritis.

CONCLUSION: NLR is a useful predictive marker in emphysematous pyelonephritis. Its predictive value increases when combined with presence or absence of ARF. In patients with high NLR and ARF, the threshold for considering nephrectomy should be low. PMID: 30624199 [PubMed - in process]
