Primary Prevention of Stroke in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients: A Scientific Update
Background: Although chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an independent risk factor for stroke, official recommendations for the primary prevention of stroke in CKD are generally lacking.Summary: We searched PubMed and ISI Web of Science for randomised controlled trials, observational studies, reviews, meta-analyses and guidelines referring to measures of stroke prevention or to the treatment of stroke-associated risk factors (cardiovascular disease in general and atrial fibrillation (AF), arterial hypertension or carotid artery disease in particular) among the CKD population. The use of oral anticoagulation in AF appears safe...

Warfarin Use and the Risk for Stroke and Bleeding in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Dialysis.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that warfarin use is not beneficial in reducing stroke risk but is associated with a higher bleeding risk in patients with AF undergoing dialysis. PMID: 24452752 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Evidence for the Prevention and Treatment of Stroke in Dialysis Patients
Abstract The risks of both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke are particularly high in dialysis patients of any age and outcomes are poor. It is therefore important to identify strategies that safely minimize stroke risk in this population. Observational studies have been unable to clarify the relative importance of traditional stroke risk factors such as blood pressure and cholesterol in those on dialysis, and are affected by biases that usually make them an inappropriate source of data on which to base therapeutic decisions. Well‐conducted randomized trials are not susceptible to such biases and can reliably investigate t...

The impact of comorbidity on survival after hemorrhagic stroke among dialysis patients: a nationwide population-based study
Conclusions: Dialysis patients who have history of prior stroke, diabetes and malignancy have worse survival than patients without these comorbidities. Attention must focus on providing optimal medical care after hemorrhagic stroke for these target groups to reduce mortality.

Warfarin use and incidence of stroke in Japanese hemodialysis patients with atrial fibrillation
Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the major risk factor for ischemic stroke, and oral anticoagulation is generally indicated for prevention of stroke. However, the utility of oral anticoagulation for AF in dialysis patients remains controversial. In this single-center, retrospective, observational study, data from 1120 patients on maintenance hemodialysis were analyzed. Baseline medical data were collected from dialysis records including age, gender, the cause of end-stage renal disease, dialysis vintage, and comorbidities. We evaluated outcomes including stroke, major hemorrhage, and death. A total of 1...

Risk of stroke and bleeding in patients with heart failure and chronic kidney disease: a nationwide cohort study
ConclusionsCompared with patients without CKD, among incident heart failure patients without atrial fibrillation, CKD both with and without dialysis was associated with a higher rate of major bleeding and all‐cause death. Only CKD‐no RRT was associated with a higher rate of ischaemic stroke and intracranial bleeding.

Functional outcomes of rehabilitation in patients with subacute stroke on haemodialysis.
CONCLUSION: Dialysis was not an inhibitory factor affecting outcomes during subacute rehabilitation in patients with stroke. Rehabilitation should be considered for patients with subacute stroke requiring haemodialysis, in order to provide every opportunity to achieve adequate functional outcomes.

Comparison of Clevidipine and Nicardipine for Acute Blood Pressure Reduction in Hemorrhagic Stroke
ConclusionsIn patients with hemorrhagic stroke, nicardipine appeared to have similar efficacy as clevidipine in SBP reduction, with a more likely reduction of rebound hypertension and drug cost. This retrospective study was underpowered, which may limit these implications. Further prospective studies are warranted to confirm these results.

Outcomes of endovascular versus intravenous thrombolytic treatment for acute ischemic stroke in dialysis patients.
CONCLUSIONS: The odds of both in-hospital mortality and moderate to severe disability were lower with endovascular treatment in dialysis patients. Such data support the preferential use of endovascular treatment in this patient population. PMID: 25262635 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Variables affecting Stroke Outcome for TPA received between 3 to 4.5 hours (P2.301)
Conclusions: Age, NIHSS and renal dysfunction were significantly associated with worse outcome in patients who had received t-PA between 3 to 4.5 hours. Our findings were consistent but more robust than previous studies showing poorer outcome with renal dysfunction (Meta-analysis OR1.06 NS). After controlling for age and NIHSS, diabetes or hypertension did not additionally contribute to poor outcome. Prognostic and risk stratification scales are useful as predictors of outcome but do not imply efficacy of t-PA therapy or lack thereof.Disclosure: Dr. Yeo has nothing to disclose.

Neuroprotection in acute stroke: targeting excitotoxicity, oxidative and nitrosative stress, and inflammation
Publication date: Available online 11 May 2016 Source:The Lancet Neurology Author(s): Ángel Chamorro, Ulrich Dirnagl, Xabier Urra, Anna M Planas Treatments for acute ischaemic stroke continue to evolve after the superior value of endovascular thrombectomy was confirmed over systemic thrombolysis. Unfortunately, numerous neuroprotective drugs have failed to show benefit in the treatment of acute ischaemic stroke, making the search for new treatments imperative. Increased awareness of the relevance of rigorous preclinical testing, and appropriate selection of study participants, might overcome the barriers to progress...

Meta-Analysis of Anticoagulation Use, Stroke, Thromboembolism, Bleeding, and Mortality in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation on Dialysis
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in patients on dialysis. Although randomized trials of anticoagulation for AF have demonstrated striking reductions in stroke, these trials did not recruit patients on dialysis. We thus undertook this systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies including patients with AF on dialysis that reported associations of anticoagulation use. Twenty studies involving 529,741 subjects and 31,321 patients with AF on dialysis were identified. Anticoagulation was associated with a 45% (95% CI 13% to 88%) increased risk of any stroke, reflecting a nonsignificant 13% (95% CI −4% to 34...

Difficulty of stroke management in the dialysis child
ConclusionCause or consequences of the renal disease, HT must be properly treated in order to reach the recommended targeted blood pressure values. The time required to take charge the hypertensive stroke determines the prognosis. The challenge is to optimize the health care sector to reduce mortality and sequelae.
