Serum uric acid level in acute stroke patients
Background: The role of uric acid as a risk factor for vascular disease and acute stroke is controversial and there is little information about it. In this study, we determined serum uric acid levels in patients with acute stroke and assessed its relationship with cerebrovascular risk factors. Methods: In this cross sectional study, we assessed patients with acute stroke who were admitted in F...
متن کاملLow admission serum albumin as prognostic determinant of 30-day case fatality and adverse functional outcome following acute ischemic stroke
INTRODUCTION Over 80% of stroke deaths occur in low-income and middle-income regions of the world. Identification of predictors of mortality is vital so that prompt therapeutic measures could be instituted to improve outcome. Previous studies have identified factors such as stroke severity, stroke type, older age, impairment of consciousness and hyperglycaemia as predictors of mortality for acu...
متن کاملALIAS (Albumin in Acute Ischemic Stroke) Trials
In preclinical studies, high-dose human albumin has been shown to be highly neuroprotective by reducing infarct volume and cerebral edema and improving behavioral function. To address whether this concept of neuroprotection could be conveyed in humans, 2 large, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled phase III trials were initiated to ascertain whether 25% human serum albumin confers benefi...
متن کاملAcute anticoagulation following cardioembolic stroke.
Whether acute anticoagulation after cardioembolic stroke affords substantial protection against early recurrent emboli or an unacceptable risk of hemorrhage remains controversial. To assess this further, we evaluated 121 consecutive patients with acute cardioembolic stroke. Forty-nine were therapeutically anticoagulated within 96 hours of stroke onset, and 41 received no anticoagulants within t...
متن کاملSerum albumin level as a predictor of ischemic stroke outcome.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Animal studies showed that human albumin therapy is strongly neuroprotective in focal ischemia. The aim of our study was to determine if relatively high serum albumin level is associated with decreased risk of poor outcome in ischemic stroke patients. METHODS Seven hundred fifty-nine consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke were included. Functional outcome was m...
