Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio and Urine Albumin-Creatinine Ratio As Indicators of Microvascular Complications in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with a high risk of developing microvascular complications such as diabetic nephropathy, diabetic neuropathy (DN), and diabetic retinopathy (DR), leading to significant morbidity. Early detection of these complications is crucial for improving patient outcomes. Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and urine albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) show promise as cost-effective and accessible biomarkers for the early detection of microvascular complications in T2DM.
