Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 11
Abstract
There is a significant positive correlation being observed between homocysteinemia in stroke among young adults with age group between 18 - 45 years . Hyperhomocysteinemia is one of the modifiable risk factor among causes of ischemic stroke in young. All young patients with ischemic stroke need to be investigated for homocysteine level, and treatment of hyperhomocysteinemia may help in preventing recurrence of ischemic stroke. Patients with ischemic stroke who were 18 – 45 years of age, were enrolled in this study. Patients with the age group between 30-35 years showed homocysteine level of 21.26 mmol/litre and those with the age group between 36-40 years showed homocysteine level of 17.28 mmol/litre and those with the age group between 41-45 years showed homocysteine level of 18.0 mmol/litre.
