Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global public health problem with a high mortality rate and a rapid progression to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Recently, the role of inflammation and the correlation between inflammatory markers and CKD progression have been studied. This study aimed to analyze the predictive value of the neutrophil−lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in assessing the outcome of ESKD patients. Methods: A retrospective study which included all patients admitted in the Department of Nephrology of the County Emergency Clinical Hospital, Târgu-Mureș, Romania, between January 2016 and December 2019, diagnosed with ESKD. Results: Mortality at 30 days was clearly higher in the case of the patients in the high-NLR groups (40.12% vs. 1.97%; p &lt; 0.0001), high-MLR (32.35% vs. 4.81%; p &lt; 0.0001), and respectively high-PLR (25.54% vs. 7.94%; p &lt; 0.0001). There was also a significant increase in the number of hospital days and the average number of dialysis sessions in patients with high-NLR (p &lt; 0.0001), high-MLR (p &lt; 0.0001), and high-PLR (p &lt; 0.0001). The multivariate analysis showed that a high baseline value for NLR (p &lt; 0.0001), MLR (p &lt; 0.0001), and PLR (p &lt; 0.0001) was an independent predictor of 30-day mortality for all recruited patients. Conclusions: Our findings established that NLR, MLR, and PLR determined at hospital admission had a strong predictive capacity of all-cause 30-day mortality in ESKD patients who required RRT for at least 6 months. Elevated values of the ratios were also associated with longer hospital stays and more dialysis sessions per patient.
