The predictive value of systemic inflammatory markers in 902 patients with tunneled hemodialysis catheter.

This study highlights the interest of specific inflammatory markers, particularly monocytes, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, and platelet-lymphocyte ratio, in the management of tunneled catheters, notably in patients undergoing exchanges. However, cut-off values, essential for constructing management algorithms, are currently lacking, and prospective multicenter studies are needed for further elucidation.
