Abstract:
Anemia and hyperhemoglobin are not common stroke risk factors, and the association between hemoglobin concentration and stroke remains inconclusive. Through searching the literature, the impact of hypo- and hyper-hemoglobin on the risks of incident stroke, mortality, and poor functional prognosis was analyzed. The review revealed a U-shaped relationship between hemoglobin and the risks of incidental ischemic stroke, and mortality of ischemic stroke and intracranial hemorrhage, separately. However, the optimal hemoglobin concentration was undetermined.
