Abstract
Background:Stroke patients with chronic kidney disfunction are prone to malnutrition. Method:Stroke patients with chronic kidney disfunction treated with intensive rehabilitation approaches have high reliability with managing risk factors and nutrition. Results:In in-patient settings, our approaches failed to improve prolonged muscle output, but we were able to improve temporary muscle output. In the outpatient setting, to improve nutrition, the patient received intensive approaches with newly prescribed medications for renal chronic kidney disfunction. Consequently, improved endurance muscle output resulted in the real-world use of the affected arm use in activities daily living. Conclusions:In stroke patients with chronic kidney disfunction, the long-term functional improvement of the affected arm might be improved by both appropriate nutrition guidance and intensive training.
