AbstractAim: The aim of the present study was to investigate the renal function in patients with acute stroke and itsrelationship with in-hospital mortality.Methods: The present study was a prospective, observational study conducted at department of Medicine for theperiod of 2 years. 200 patients were considered for present study.Results: 80% were from group A while 20% were from group B. Most patients were from >65 years age group,male, BMI119 (40%) followed by 98-118 (35%) serum creatinine group.We distributed patients according to blood urea concentration at time of presentation, most patients had bloodurea in the range of 6.8-8.9 (40%) followed by 5.3-6.7 (25%). Maximum mortality was noted in >9 (45%) followedby 6.8-8.9 (30%) blood urea group.We noted that age > 65 years, GCS score > 10 at the time of admission, smoking, diabetes mellitus and aspirationpneumonitis were predictors of death in stroke patients.Conclusion: The severity of impaired kidney function in patients hospitalized with acute stroke is associated withincreased mortality independent of age, sex, and major comorbidities. Unrecognized renal insufficiency noted bylow eGFR is common in patients with acute stroke and is associated with higher mortality adverse short-termoutcomes.
