The systemic immune-inflammation index is associated with prevalent chronic kidney disease in adults with hypertension
Nature ·
The Brief
- A study reports that the systemic immune-inflammation index is associated with prevalent chronic kidney disease in adults with hypertension.
- The source provided no summary, so the study's sample, methods and effect size are not known from this material.
Why it matters
It points to a simple blood-based inflammation measure that may be linked to kidney disease in people with hypertension, but an association does not establish that the index causes or predicts the disease.
