C - Reactive Protien Assay: A Risk Marker in Ischemic Stroke
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Plasma C - reactive protein (CRP), an inflammatory plasma marker, is an independent predictor of future stroke. Hence, an estimation of CRP in patients with ischemic stroke was carried out in Mamata General Hospital, Khammam, as a prospective study and to establish C- reactive protein as an independent risk factor in ischemic stroke. CRP value of CT evaluated ischemic stroke patients within 6hrs after admission showed CRP <6mg/L. Females shows high risk than males with high baseline CRP values. C - reactive protein was significantly elevated in patients with ischemic stroke. It is nonspecific highly sensitive and independent risk factor for prediction of ischemic stroke in patients without other risk factors for atherosclerosis.
