The aberrant elevations in the levels of inflammatory blood cell markers, including platelet‐to‐albumin ratio (PAR),8 neutrophil‐to‐albumin ratio (NAR),9 and platelet‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (PLR),10 act as useful inflammatory indicators; all markers have been assessed for the ability to predict DKD. The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is diabetic kidney disease.
