Abstract

Background and Objective: The aim of this study was to establish a correlation between microalbuminuria and the severity of stroke, as determined by the NIH Stroke Scale and Modified Rankin Scale. Method: The study includes a total of 50 patients who have a history and clinical characteristics that indicate they have experienced acute ischemic stroke. These patients are matched in terms of age and sex with 50 controls who have been admitted to the hospital. Result: Patients exhibiting microalbuminuria upon arrival demonstrated a higher NIHSS score, with a p-value of less than 0.05, indicating a very significant correlation with increased severity and worse prognosis. Patients exhibiting microalbuminuria demonstrated a significantly higher MRS score, with a p-value of less than 0.05, indicating a strong correlation with a negative prognosis. Conclusion: It suggests that the occurrence of microalbuminuria is linked to a higher level of severity and a worse short-term prognosis. Therefore, they can serve as indications of the seriousness and short-term outlook in patients with acute ischemic cerebrovascular stroke.
