Stroke in chronic kidney disease

Abstract: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a higher risk for stroke in studies from developed countries. This prospective study was conducted to study the clinical profile, management, and outcome of stroke in patients of chronic kidney disease who had been admitted in our institute during the period from December 2004 to December 2006. A higher incidence of stroke was found in men and in the fifth decade of life. Hypertension and diabetes were found in 88.8 and 48.1% of the patients respectively. CKD was… Show more

“…Similarly, laboratory results that might reflect impaired kidney function, such as creatinine, urea nitrogen, and potassium, are also positively correlated with stroke chance. This also agrees with previous work showing that patients with Chronic Kidney Disease are associated with a higher risk of stroke [ 36 ].…”

“…The high risk of bleeding in CKD patients can be partially attributed to disturbances in the coagulation system, coupled with an altered response to medications 8) . Therefore, it could be identified as a significant risk factor for increased morbidity and mortality after stroke 11) .…”

“…This is in contrast to the general population where obesity confers a higher stroke risk. Low albumin affecting erythrocyte deformability and endothelial dysfunction may well explain the increased stroke risk in malnourished patients (23,24). The observation of low albumin in our study concurs with the available literature and emphasizes the importance of maintaining good nutrition in dialysis patients.…”
