Role of Renal Dysfunction as a Prognostic Factor in Acute Stroke Patients at a Tertiary Hospital in Northeastern Nigeria
Saudi J Kidney Dis Transpl. 2021 Jan-Feb;32(1):199-203. doi: 10.4103/1319-2442.318524.ABSTRACTChronic kidney disease (CKD) and stroke share many common risk factors, and the presence of CKD confers added risk factors for stroke. With increasing interest and understanding of the close relationship between the kidney and the brain, this study aims to assess the prevalence and impact of renal dysfunction on outcomes acute stroke patients. This is a prospective hospital-based study carried out in the neurology unit of University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, Maiduguri, northeastern Nigeria. The study population consisted of ...

Plasma levels of matrix metalloproteinase-9: A possible marker for cold-induced stroke risk in hypertensive rats
Publication date: Available online 23 July 2019Source: Neuroscience LettersAuthor(s): Huanmin Li, Peijian Yue, Yuying Su, Chunguang LiAbstractThe cold weather is associated with an increased occurrence of acute stroke events. However, the underlying mechanisms have not yet been fully elucidated. In the present study, we investigated whether plasma matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) levels as well as the MMP-9/TIMP-1 ratio could be used as predictor for cold-induced stroke risk in hypertensive rats. A total of 50 male rats were subjected to either control group or 2-kidne...

Post-operative acute kidney injury and five-year risk of death, myocardial infarction, and stroke among elective cardiac surgical patients: a cohort study
Conclusions: AKI, within five days after elective cardiac surgery, was associated with increased five-year mortality and a statistically insignificant increased risk of myocardial infarction. No association was seen with the risk of stroke.

Direct oral anticoagulants versus warfarin for preventing stroke and systemic embolic events among atrial fibrillation patients with chronic kidney disease.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that DOAC are as likely as warfarin to prevent all strokes and systemic embolic events without increasing risk of major bleeding events among AF patients with kidney impairment. These findings should encourage physicians to prescribe DOAC in AF patients with CKD without fear of bleeding. The major limitation is that the results of this study chiefly reflect CKD stage G3. Application of the results to CKD stage G4 patients requires additional investigation. Furthermore, we could not assess CKD stage G5 patients. Future reviews should assess participants at more advanced CKD stages. Additio...

Centrally administered angiotensin‐(1–7) increases the survival of stroke prone spontaneously hypertensive rats
This study is the first to demonstrate the cerebroprotective actions of Ang‐(1–7), including increased survival time, in spSHR. As such, these data reveal a potential therapeutic target for hemorrhagic stroke. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved

Neuroprotective Action of Human Wharton's Jelly-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Transplants in a Rodent Model of Stroke.
Abstract Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (WJ-MSCs) have distinct immunomodulatory and protective effects against kidney, liver, or heart injury. Limited studies have shown that WJ-MSCs attenuates oxygen-glucose deprivation-mediated inflammation in hippocampal slices. The neuroprotective effect of intracerebral WJ-MSC transplantation against stroke has not been well characterized. The purpose of this study was to examine the neuroprotective effect of human WJ-MSC (hWJ-MSC) transplants in an animal model of stroke. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthetized and placed in a stereotaxic frame. ...

Five-Year Follow-Up on Transplanted Organs From Donors After Brain Death After Acute Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: The 5-year follow-up showed that organs from 14 brain-dead donors improved and saved 19 lives, with 17 patients receiving kidney transplants and 2 patients receiving liver transplants. Another 7 patients had only partially improved quality of life. PMID: 28447929 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

ESRD After Heart Failure, Myocardial Infarction, or Stroke in Type  2 Diabetic Patients With CKD
Conclusions Most ESRD cases occurred in individuals without intercurrent CV events who had lower eGFRs than individuals with intercurrent CV events, but similar post-ESRD mortality. Nevertheless, intercurrent CV events, particularly heart failure, are strongly associated with risk for ESRD. These findings underscore the need for kidney-specific therapies in addition to treatment of CV risk factors to lower ESRD incidence in diabetes.

Can Stroke Volume Variation Be an Alternative to Central Venous Pressure in Patients Undergoing Kidney Transplantation?
Stroke volume variation (SVV) is known to be a simple and less invasive hemodynamic parameter for evaluating fluid responsiveness and preload status. Central venous pressure (CVP) has been targeted to achieve an adequate level for improving the graft perfusion and long-term graft function in kidney transplantation (KT) recipients, despite the various potential complications. The aim of this study was to investigate whether SVV could substitute for CVP in guiding intravascular volume management during KT.

A comparative study of pulse pressure variation, stroke volume variation and central venous pressure in patients undergoing kidney transplantation
CONCLUSION: Under the conditions of our study, SVV and CVP exhibited similar performance in predicting fluid responsiveness and could inform fluid management during KT as compared with PPV.PMID:34911180 | DOI:10.11622/smedj.2021221
