The Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index Predicts Clinical Outcomes in Kidney Transplant Recipients

Conclusion: SII demonstrated limited utility as an independent predictor of outcomes after KTx. However, in combination with other clinically relevant parameters, SII is a useful predictor of post-KTx prognosis. Validation of this novel inflammatory biomarker in a multi-institutional study is needed to further elucidate its practical applications in transplantation.
