Influence of renal function on stroke outcome after mechanical thrombectomy: a prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

For acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patient receiving mechanical thrombectomy (MT), renal dysfunction was an independent risk factor of contrast-induced nephropathy which may affect clinical outcomes. However, the influence of renal function on stroke outcomes is still controversial. Thus, we aim to investigate the association between renal function and outcomes of AIS patients receiving MT.

Methods

All consecutive stroke patients receiving MT were included in a prospective stroke registry in China from April 2015 to February 2019. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was measured on admission and categorized into G1 (≥ 90 ml/min/1.73 m²), G2 (60-89 ml/min/1.73 m²), G3a (45-59 ml/min/1.73 m²) and G3b-5 (≤44 ml/min/1.73 m^2</
