New Study Reveals Uric Acid's Role in Stroke Recovery: Implications for Treatment
In a recent study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, researchers shed light on the complex relationship between uric acid (UA) levels and recovery outcomes in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). The study findings reveal that the uric acid levels and functional outcomes do not maintain a linear relationship but instead maintain an inverted u-shaped relation.
AIS is a notable global health issue due to increased incidence and mortality rates leading to profound disability and healthcare burden. Ultra‐early intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) has shown profound effectiveness in treating ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Uric acid levels have shown considerable correlation for post-stroke prognosis. Hence, researchers from Jilin University China conducted a study to investigate the relationship between uric acid (UA) levels and functional outcomes at 3 months in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) who underwent intravenous thrombolysis (IVT).
