ABSTRACT
Background: Anaemia of chronic diseases (ACD) is a prevalent condition among patients with chronic illnesses. Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet indices (PI) have been suggested as potential biomarkers for ACD. This study aimed to assess the predictive value of NLR and PI in patients with chronic diseases attending hospitals in South-Western Nigeria.
