Uric Acid Tracks Stroke Cognition

ChangchunUric acid levels tracked cognitive impairment in 543 minor stroke patients.

Risk was lowest near 409 µmol/L, in the study at Jilin University’s First Hospital.

Between 257 and 409 µmol/L, each 1 µmol/L rise cut early impairment risk 0.7%.

The authors call the accepted manuscript hypothesis-generating and want larger longitudinal studies.
