Higher Circulating Neutrophil Counts Is Associated with Increased Risk of All-Cause Mortality and Cardiovascular Disease in Patients with Diabetic Kidney Disease.

Higher levels of circulating neutrophil counts show a significant correlation with renal abnormalities and higher all-cause and CVD mortality in T2DM patients with DKD. The novel clinical predictive models and risk scores incorporating neutrophil counts may facilitate stratification and, hence, risk factor management in DKD patients.
