Associations of leucocyte subtypes and platelet parameters with kidney cancer risk in the UK Biobank cohort by Sofia Christakoudi, Konstantinos K. Tsilidis, Marc J. Gunter, Elio Riboli

“…Abstract Background Kidney cancer is related to obesity and inflammation and platelets are involved in thrombo-inflammation, but the prospective associations of individual leucocyte subtypes and platelet parameters with kidney cancer risk are unclear. Methods Using data from the UK Biobank cohort and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models, we obtained hazard ratios (HR per one standard deviation increase) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) for the mutually adjusted associations of inflammatory markers and platelet parameters (log-transformed), and allometric obesity indices (body mass index (BMI), a body shape index (ABSI), hip index) with kidney cancer risk (overall, by sex, and by follow-up time with a cut-off at 6 years). …”
