Abstract:Aims
The incidence of post stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) is higher in patients with mild stroke (MIS), and the risk factors and mechanism are uncertain. Increased cystatin C (CysC) levels after stroke may reflect lower glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and renal impairment. Previous studies have suggested endothelial dysfunction (ED) is closely related to renal impairment and cognitive impairment, respectively. We aimed to observe whether lower GFR estimated by CysC after MIS lead to a high incidence of P… Show more
