Postoperative changes in neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet count: A simple prognostic predictor for adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation

Summary: Background/Objective: The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a simple index that represents systemic inflammatory change. The number of platelets is also known to reflect both post-transplant graft regeneration and dysfunction. Thus, we aimed to investigate the usefulness of NLR and p...
