Abstract:Objective To investigate the impact of urinary albumin excretion rate on the incidence of cerebral infarction. Methods This study selected 450 patients with cerebral infarction in our hospital from February 2013 to July 2015 (CI group) and 450 healthy people (control group). Urinary albumin excretion rate was compared between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the clinical data. Results The urinary albumin excretion rate of the CI group was significantly higher than that of the control group [ (29.15 ± 4.38) vs.(14.72 ± 2.45) mg/24h, P < 0.05]. The rates of hypertension, coronary heart disease and diabetes, systolic blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, fasting blood glucose, urinary albumin excretion rate, smoking and alcohol consumption in the CI group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, urinary albumin excretion rate are the independent risk factors for the onset of cerebral infarction (P < 0.05). Conclusions Urinary albumin excretion is an independent risk factor for the onset of cerebral infarction, it might be used as an important index to predict the risk of cerebral infarction. Timely intervention and treatment should be carried out for high-risk patients in clinic.
