Experts evaluated the association between neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) and mortality in 2,699 diabetic kidney disease (DKD) patients. They found that higher NPAR levels were associated with increased all-cause mortality. Cardiovascular mortality risk was significantly elevated in males, with NPAR as an independent predictor. These findings highlight NPAR as a potential prognostic marker in DKD, with notable sex differences.
