Objective: This prospective study aimed to study the prognostic value of routine haematological
and biochemical parameters in patients of acute hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) on
fatality occurring during fi rst 30 days, and to estimate its case fatality rate, demographic and clinical
correlates. Methods: One hundred and eleven consecutive patients with proved hypertensive ICH
within 72 hours of symptom onset were studied. After clinical evaluation and neuroimaging, blood
investigations including hemoglobin, total leukocyte count, platelet count, erythrocyte sedimentation
rate, random blood sugar, urea, creatinine, sodium, potassium, serum bilirubin, aspartate transaminase
(AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), albumin estimations were performed.
The patients were followed up for a maximum period of 30 days from the onset of stroke. Results:
Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that a low Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score (Odd`s ratio
(OR) 17.54, p=0.001); high serum bilirubin (OR=7.97, p=0.021), and low serum albumin (OR=13.31,
p=0.001) correlated signifi cantly with death.
Conclusions: Our study shows that low GCS, raised serum bilirubin, and low serum albumin are
marker of poor outcome in ICH.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been shown to be linked to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) due to established risk factors such as obesity, age, and type 2 diabetes in numerous studies. However, alternative research suggests that factors related to IBD, such as disease activity, duration, and drug-induced toxicity, can contribute to NAFLD. Recent research findings suggest IBD relapses are correlated with dysbiosis, mucosal damage, and an increase in cytokines. In contrast, remission periods are characterized by reduced metabolic risk factors. There is a dichotomy evident in the associations between NAFLD and IBD during relapses and remissions. This warrants a nuanced understanding of the diverse influences on disease manifestation and progression. It is possible to provide a holistic approach to care for patients with IBD by emphasizing the interdependence between metabolic and inflammatory disorders.
