Elevated neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio combined with hyponatremia indicate poor prognosis in renal cell carcinoma.

Conclusion: Elevated NLR alone and in combination with hyponatremia at time of initial RCC diagnosis and at time of RCC recurrence are associated with poor prognosis. Combining these two prognostic markers yield a stronger association than NLR considered alone. This may impact prognostic prediction and its related therapeutic strategy.
