Recent studies have reinforced the association between high NLR and PAD in hemodialysis patients. This highlights the need for further studies to confirm its predictive value and determine optimal cut-off thresholds tailored to local patient populations. Accordingly, the present study aims to investigate the relationship between NLR and the presence of PAD in patients undergoing regular hemodialysis. By establishing this association in a well-defined population, we hope to provide evidence that supports the use of NLR as a simple, cost-effective tool for PAD risk stratification and early intervention
