Association between the hemoglobin albumin lymphocyte and platelet score and chronic kidney disease: Insights from patient data and animal models.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study looked at 25,181 people to see if a blood test score predicts kidney disease. The score uses four common blood markers. It shows a link between the score and kidney health, but it does not prove cause. This is an observational study, so it cannot show that changing the score will fix the kidneys.
