Evaluation of renal function in acute cerebrovascular stroke

Abstract EN

Background and purpose: VilaL physiological functions could sustain serious derangement as a consequence of cerebovasular stroke.

Changes in renal function might ensue an a part of such dertatgemem Moreover, patients with cerebrovascular stroke usually suffer from co-morbid side effects of multiple drug prescriptions.

These studies evaluate the renal function in the acute phase of stroke.

Methods: Renal function was evaluated for 40 patients with acute cerebrovascular stroke (21 with cerebral infarction and 19 with cerebral hemorrhage) an admission.

Day 4 and S after stroke onset as well as in 50 healthy sex and age matched volunteers Results: in spite of exclusion of most of the known risk factors of renal function deterioration, statistically significant elevation of serum urea and creatinine (p<0.05) as well as reduction of creatinine clearance (P- 0 05) were observed throughout the study in patients group compared with controls.

Conclusion: patients with cerebrovascular stroke whether cerebral hemorrhage or infarction exhibit deterioration of their renal function in the acute phase of their illness.

&> routine renal function especially Creatinine clearance is mandatory for these patients for proper drug dose adjustment and to avoid farther Deterioration of their renal junction with the exclusion of any of those drugs with potential nephrotoxic effect these precautionsmay help in improvement of the survival as well as functional outlook of stroke patients
