EVALUATION OF CHANGES IN PERIPHERAL BLOOD CELL INDICES, NEUTROPHIL TO LYMPHOCYTE RATIO, AND PLATELET TO LYMPHOCYTE RATIO DURING THE FIRST SIX MONTHS POST-TRANSPLANT IN KIDNEY TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS AT MILITARY HOSPITAL 103
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To investigate changes in peripheral blood cell indices, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR)in pre-kidney transplant and during the first six months post-transplant. Methods: A combined retrospective and prospective, descriptive study was conducted on 258 kidney transplant recipients at Military Hospital 103 (01/2022 - 4/2025). Clinical characteristics and complete blood counts were collected and analyzed. Results: RBC, hemoglobin, and hematocrit increased from the first month post-transplant; anemia prevalence decreased from 82.6% pre-transplant to 15.5% at 6 months. Platelet counts rose from 218.61 ± 70.3 to 231.98 ± 60.41 G/L (p < 0.05), lymphocytes from 1.55 ± 0.69 to 1.75 ± 0.81 G/L (p < 0.05), while NLR declined from 3.07 (2.26 - 4.45) to 2.72 (1.93 - 3.75) (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Peripheral blood indices improved within 6 months after transplantation, and regular monitoring facilitates early complication detection and timely therapeutic adjustment.
