Diagnostic value of the preoperative platelet/lymphocyte ratio and red cell distribution volume in patients with renal masses.

Objectives: Inflammatory markers indicate immune system responses.

Background: We retrospectively explored whether the platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and red blood cell distribution width (RDW) were predictive of malignant disease.

Material And Methods: Between 2019 and 2023, 148 patients diagnosed with malignant and benign renal tumors via imaging or biopsy were included.

Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes are Independent Risk Factors for Computed Tomography-Estimated Nonalcoholic Fatty Pancreas Disease.

Objectives: Nonalcoholic fatty pancreas disease (NAFPD) is characterized by excessive fat deposition in the pancreas in the absence of alcohol consumption. In this study, we aimed to detect a possible relationship between adipose tissue accumulation, prediabetes and diabetes.

Methods: This cross-sectional and retrospective study included 110 patients.
