Thrombelastography Suggests Hypercoagulability in Patients with Renal Dysfunction and Intracerebral Hemorrhage

The objective of this study was to quantify coagulopathy using thrombelastography (TEG) in patients with renal dysfunction and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We reviewed patients admitted with spontaneous ICH between November 2009 and May 2015. TEG was performed at the time of admission. Creatinine...

Description
Summary:The objective of this study was to quantify coagulopathy using thrombelastography (TEG) in patients with renal dysfunction and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We reviewed patients admitted with spontaneous ICH between November 2009 and May 2015. TEG was performed at the time of admission. Creatinine clearance (CCr) was calculated using the Cockroft–Gault equation. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on normal (CCr ≥ 90) or reduced renal function (CCr
