Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a common complication among patients admitted to the hospital. The incidence of AKI in critical illness is 20-50%, and the condition has a high mortality rate. The methods for measuring most biomarkers are expensive and might not be suitable in daily practice. The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are accessible ratios that can be used to estimate mortality in patients with acute kidney injury al entering an intensive care unit. The objetive of the study was to determine the relationship between NLR and PLR and mortality in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury.
