Age, levels of hematocrit, serum glucose, creatinine, fibrinogen, potassium, counts of total leukocyte, neutrophil, disease severity scores (SIRS and Ranson), and the frequency of preexisting comorbidities increased, whereas levels of platelet count, albumin, sodium, calcium, and counts of lymphocyte decreased with higher NLR quartiles. This evidence concerns the gene ALB and systemic inflammatory response syndrome.
