Association between kidney measurements and cognitive performance in patients with ischemic stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at a substantially higher risk for stroke, which may predispose individuals to cognitive impairment. However, the association of low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albuminuria with poorer cognitive performance in patients with stroke is not fully understood, and the current evidence for this association is contradictory. Our aim was to retrospectively investigate whether low eGFR and albuminuria, as indicated by the urine albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR), are independently or jointly associated with worse cognitive performance in patients with ischemic stroke.

Methods

This retrospective study included 608 patients with acute ischemic stroke. Their UACR and eGFR values were obtained from inpatient me
