Background:Prior studies have shown an association between high blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and an elevated risk of mortality in heart failure patients, but data on the prognostic significance of BUN and other markers of kidney function in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients are sparse.Methods and Re...
