Effects of Urinary Kallidinogenase on NIHSS score, mRS score, and fasting glucose levels in acute ischemic stroke patients with abnormal glucose metabolism: A prospective cohort study

This study evaluated the effect of urinary kallidinogenase on National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, modified Rankin scale (mRS) score, and fasting glucose levels in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) combined with diabetes mellitus and impaired fasting glucose. Patients with AIS and abnormal glucose metabolism were enrolled in this prospective cohort study and divided into 2 groups. The human urinary kallidinogenase (HUK) group were treated with urinary kallidinogenase and standard treatment; the control group received standard treatment. NIHSS scores, mRS scores, and fasting blood glucose were evaluated and compared. A total of 113 patients were included: 58 in the HUK group and 55 in the control group. NIHSS scores decreased with treatment in both groups (time effect P
