Is microalbuminuria a prognostic predictor in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage?
This study confirms a high prevalence of microalbuminuria in the SAH patients, and it suggests that the highest urinary microalbumin/creatinine ratio > 200 mg/g during the first 8 days is a significant predictor of unfavorable neurological outcome.
The use of a large amount (240 g) of oral barium tracer with the colonic preparation improves the ability of preliminary abdominal radiography to predict the adequacy of colonic cleansing.
