RENAL DYSFUNCTION AND ISCHEMIC STROKE
Journal Title: Acta Facultatis Medicae Naissensis - Year 2013, Vol 30, Issue 0
Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important worldwide public health problem and stroke represents a continuously evolving medical and social problem. Renal dysfunction carries a substantial risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, the risk increases with a decline in kidney function. In the last 15 years the link between CKD and cerebrovascular disease has become more apparent. Nowadays, in dialysis patients suffering from stroke, ischemic subtype is present in approximately 70%. In high risk patients with different stages of CKD, renal dysfunction is clearly associated with subsequent ischemic stroke. In population-based studies, conflicting results have been reported. Furthermore, in patients with ischemic stroke renal dysfunction is associated with short- and long-term mortality. Authors present different studies published in this field and also add some of their own results.
