Kidney disease may increase the risk of stroke in patients with AF by causing inflammation and stiffening of arteries.
Also, decreased kidney function itself may be a marker for the build up of plaque in the arteries, said Go.

They found that a lower level of kidney function was associated with a graded, increased risk of ischemic stroke and blood clots that travel through the circulatory system, independent of known risk factors for AF.
