Renal Function as a Predictor of Mortality and Functional Outcomes in Acute Stroke: A Prospective Study
Renal function indicators, specifically serum creatinine, and eGFR, are significant predictors of mortality and functional outcomes in acute stroke patients. Hemorrhagic stroke is associated with higher mortality and poorer renal function compared to ischemic stroke. These findings highlight the importance of assessing renal function in stroke management and suggest further research with larger cohorts to refine predictive models for stroke outcomes.
