Abstract:
Objective: To determine the predictive value of the delta neutrophil index (DNI) for acute pyelonephritis (APN), which increases in conditions of infection and in ammation. Study Design: Observational, comparative cross-sectional study. comparison, patients were categorised into two groups: those with lower UTI (LUTI) and those with APN.Together with demographic data of patients and ureteral stone, DNI, C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood cell (WBC) and other biochemical parameters were analysed. Results: There were 165 patients (80.5%) in the LUTI group and 40 patients (19.5%) in the APN group. In univariate analysis, age (p=0.023), creatinine (p=0.001), PT/INR (p=0.007), WBC (p 1.3% should be considered for early intervention.
