Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) tends to progress to end-stage renal disease without any intervention. Neutrophil/lymphocyte (N/L) ratio may be indicative of an underlying inflammatory state. We aimed to investigate the role of N/L ratio for prediction of progression to dialysis in patients with stage 4 CKD.Methods: We included 105 patients with stage 4 CKD in the study. All patients were followed up from the first admission to dialysis. NIL ratio was measured during follow-up. Patients were divided into two groups as baseline N/L (N/Lb) ratio = 3 and rapid progression was defined as > 5 mL/minute/year loss of creatinine clearance and slow progression as < 5 mL/minute/year.Results: Patients with N/L ratio >= 3 demonstrated high progression rate compared to patients who had N/L ratio
