Data on patient demographics andlaboratory findings (neutrophil, lymphocyte, platelet, creatinine, eGFR, serum uric acid andC-reactive protein) were recorded. Acute rejection was defined via renal biopsy in accordancewith Banff criteria.Results: Acute rejection occurred in 16 (44.4%) patients. NLR (median 3.75 vs. 1.99, p=0.001)and PLR (median 125.59 vs. 99.23, p=0.008) values were significantly higher in the acuterejection group than in the control group. Area under the curve was calculated to be 0.822 forNLR and to be 0.759 for PLR. Cut-off values were determined to be >2.5 (75% sensitivity and75% specificity) for NLR and to be >108 (81% sensitivity and 65% specificity) for PLR.Univariate analysis revealed a strong correlation of acute rejection both with NLR >2.5 (OddsRatio (OR)=0.267, 95% Confidence Interval (CI)=0.089-0.803, p=0.019) and PLR >108(OR=0.231, 95% CI=0.066-0.810, p=0.022).Conclusion: In kidney transplant patients, there is a strong relationship between high NLRand PLR values and the development of acute rejection. As simple, easy-to-access, inexpensiveand non-invasive methods, PLR, and particularly NLR, may be potential tests to diagnose posttransplant acute rejection.en10.18678/dtfd.764557info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle223212217442629
