Abstract
Background: Uric acid (UA) has both antioxidative and pro-oxidative properties. The study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum UA and hemorrhagic transformation (HT) after intravenous thrombolysis in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
Methods: The patients undergoing intravenous thrombolysis from two hospitals in China were retrospectively analyzed. HT was evaluated using computed tomography images reviewed within 24- 36h after thrombolysis. Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) was defined as HT accompanied by worsening neurological function. Multivariate logistic regression and spline regression models were performed to explore the relationship between serum UA levels and the risk of HT and sICH.
Results: Among 503 included patients, 60 (11.9%) were diagnosed with HT and 22 (4.4%) developed sICH. Patients with HT had significant lower serum UA levels than those without HT (245 [214-325 vs. 312 [256-370] μmol/L, p < 0.001). Multivariable logistic regression analysis indicated that patients with higher serum UA levels had a lower risk of HT (OR per 10-μmol/L increase 0.96, 95%CI 0.92-0.99, p = 0.015). Furthermore, multiple-adjusted spline regression models showed a Ushaped association between serum UA levels and HT (p < 0.001 for non-linearity). Similar results were present between serum UA and sICH. Restricted cubic spline models predicted the lowest risk of HT and sICH when the serum UA levels were 386μmol/L.
Conclusion: The data show the U-shaped relationship between serum UA levels and the risk of HT and sICH after intravenous thrombolysis.
期刊介绍:
Current Neurovascular Research provides a cross platform for the publication of scientifically rigorous research that addresses disease mechanisms of both neuronal and vascular origins in neuroscience. The journal serves as an international forum publishing novel and original work as well as timely neuroscience research articles, full-length/mini reviews in the disciplines of cell developmental disorders, plasticity, and degeneration that bridges the gap between basic science research and clinical discovery. Current Neurovascular Research emphasizes the elucidation of disease mechanisms, both cellular and molecular, which can impact the development of unique therapeutic strategies for neuronal and vascular disorders.
