The prognostic value of peripheral total and differential leukocyte count in renal progression: A community-based study.

Hyperinflammation with higher peripheral total and differential leukocyte count was noted in CKD patients. The peripheral neutrophil count was the only independent factor significantly associated with rapid renal progression. The optimal cutoff point of the peripheral neutrophil count with 2760/mm3 is useful for determining the high-risk population for rapid renal progression with a satisfying sensitivity and specificity.
