Chronic kidney disease and poor outcomes in ischemic stroke: is impaired cerebral autoregulation the missing link?

Lower renal function correlates with less effective dynamic cerebral autoregulation in acute ischemic stroke, both predicting a bad outcome. The evaluation of serum biomarkers of renal dysfunction could have interest in the future for assessing cerebral microvascular risk and relationship with stroke complications.
