Background: Postoperative AKI is a common complication of surgery. The incidence of postoperative AKI varies according to the type of surgery and most studies are limited to cardiac surgery. Blood Neutrophil- lymphocyte Ratio (RNL) is one of the good systemic inflammatory markers to predict AKI. The Neutrophil-lymphocyte Ratio (RNL) has been studied as a predictor of postoperative AKI in various surgical contexts. A higher NLR was found to be associated with an increased risk of postoperative AKI after major abdominal surgery. Another study found that a high NLR was associated with an increased risk of developing AKI in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. These findings suggest that NLR may be a useful biomarker for predicting postoperative AKI, but further studies are needed to establish its clinical utility and to determine the optimal cut-off for risk strat..
