Is low hemoglobin associated with poor functional outcome after non-traumatic , supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage?
We report an association between low HB and poor outcome in patients with non-traumatic, supratentorial ICH. While a causal relationship could not be proven, previous experimental studies and studies in brain injured patients provide evidence for detrimental effects of anemia on brain metabolism. However, the potential risk of anemia must be balanced against the risk of harm from red blood cell infusion.
In this retrospective series, no risk of breast pathology occurrence was demonstrated in a population of kidney-transplanted patients.
