Abstract
- BackgroundIn patients undergoing hemodialysis, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the main cause of mortality among stroke subtypes. It is unclear whether, along with traditional cardiovascular risk factors, the risk factors unique to the uraemic environment, such as the abnormal metabolism of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), can contribute to the risk of ICH in these patients.MethodsThis retrospective case–control study included 25 patients undergoing hemodialysis with ICH at a single center between 30 June 2015 and 10 October 2022. The controls were 95 patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis treated at the same dialysis center in July 2020. We compared the characteristics of patients with ICH with those of the control group to identify factors that contributed to the development of ICH.ResultsIntracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) was located in the basal ganglia (14/25), cerebellum (6/25), and brainstem (6/25) in 25 patients. A total of 17 patients died in the first 16 days due to neurological complications. Univariate analysis showed significant differences in systolic BP, diastolic BP, iPTH, and alkaline phosphatase between the two groups (p
