Study of Electrolyte Imbalance in Patients with Acute Stroke and Effect of Serum Sodium Levels on the Outcome of Cerebro Vascular Accident in Patents of Telangana

Background: Acute stroke presents a complex clinical emergency that not only disrupts the central nervous system but also initiates a series of pathophysiological complications due to biochemical imbalances, with increased rates of morbidity and mortality. Method: 80 (eighty) patients having strokes (ischemic/hemorrhagic) were studied. Biochemical tests included fasting blood glucose, lipid profiles, Serum electrolytes were studied in both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes and compared with normal (control) groups, yielding significant results. Results: Ischemic strokes were highest in the 46-55 age group, followed by the 35-45 age group, and lowest in the 76-80 age group. Hemorrhagic strokes were highest in 5 (28.5%) in the 46-55 age group and in the 65-75 age group. Conclusion: Elevated imbalances are often exacerbated by a late approach to medical aid, preexisting malnutrition, and dehydration. Elevated serum sodium is observed in acute stroke patients. It will help the physician to treat such patients efficiently and reduce morbidity and mortality.
