Multicenter Study Clinical TrialReduced estimated glomerular filtration rate affects outcomes 3 months after intracerebral hemorrhage: the stroke acute management with urgent risk-factor assessment and improvement-intracerebral hemorrhage study.
The effect of renal dysfunction on intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains unclear. We investigated associations of renal dysfunction assessed by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) with clinical courses and outcomes in ICH patients. ⋯ Renal dysfunction (eGFR < 60 mL/minute/m(2)) was associated with poor clinical outcome after ICH.
