ROLE OF RENAL FUNCTION AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH IN-HOSPITAL MORTALITY IN PATIENTS OF ACUTE STROKE

Abstract

Background: Stroke being the disease of the elderly, has associated with high morbidity and 
mortality rate. It is increasingly apparent that people with chronic renal disorder are much 
more likely to die from cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. Stroke is an emergency disease and 
shares the same atherosclerotic risk factors with ischemic heart disease but the association of 
renal function and stroke is poorly investigated.
