Serum Creatinine May Indicate Risk of Symptomatic Intracranial Hemorrhage after Intravenous Tissue Plasminogen Activator (IV tPA)
Medicine 92:317-323, Marsh, E.B.,et al, 2013

Article Abstract
Our study suggests that renal impairment is associated with higher risk of sICH after administration of IV tPA. As IV tPA is an important and effective treatment for acute ischemic stroke, a multicenter study is needed to determine whether the observation that renal dysfunction is associated with sICH from this retrospective study holds true in a larger prospective trial.
