Can blood test ratios predict kidney disease worsening?
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at two simple blood tests (neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio) to see if they can help predict how chronic kidney disease (CKD) will progress over time. It aims to find new ways to monitor your kidney health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests if regularly tracking your blood pressure, diet, and medications through a mobile app can help monitor kidney disease progression. It aims to see if this self-management approach helps you stay healthier.
This study tests whether a simple blood ratio (platelets to albumin) can help predict if patients will develop Acute Kidney Injury (a sudden kidney problem) while in the ICU. It may help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier.
This trial looks at two blood markers, the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), in people on dialysis. It aims to see if high levels of these markers are linked to health outcomes, which could help doctors better care for dialysis patients.
This study looks at two simple blood tests to see if they can help doctors understand and predict how lupus-related kidney disease (lupus nephritis) is progressing. The goal is to improve monitoring and treatment decisions for people with this condition.
This study is looking for ways to find chronic kidney disease early, before it gets worse. It may help people who are at risk or have early signs of kidney problems.
This study looks at whether certain blood test ratios (albumin/globulin and platelet/albumin) can help identify or predict lupus nephritis, a kidney problem caused by lupus. It may help doctors better understand and manage kidney involvement in lupus patients.
