Abstract:Background: Chronic kidney disease has been identified as a risk factor affecting stroke prognosis. High-grade carotid artery stenosis (CAS) is associated with distal hemodynamic compromise. The association between the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and ischemic stroke (IS) outcome in patients with high-grade CAS remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the association between eGFR and outcomes of acute IS patients with high-grade CAS.Methods: From January 1, 2007, to April 30, 2012, we enrolled 3… Show more
“…Since the degree of carotid artery stenosis is a key risk factor for cerebral ischemia events [38]. we previously divided the patients into moderate stenosis group and severe stenosis group according to the degree of carotid artery stenosis for logistics regression analysis, confirming that miR-637 can be used as an independent factor for severe carotid artery stenosis.…”
Dysregulation of miR-637 serves as a diagnostic biomarker in patients with carotid artery stenosis and predicts the occurrence of the cerebral ischemic event

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
