Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 15
Abstract
BACKGROUND We wanted to study the highly specific C-reactive protein in acute ischaemic stroke and examine the acute ischaemic stroke patients in a region, against their CRP levels for stroke prognosis. METHODS This study was an observational study. The study was conducted at in Venkateshwara Medical College & Hospital. The sample size taken for the study is n=100 patients. RESULTS The association of highly specific C reactive protein with diabetes mellitus showed chi square 6.803, p<0.01, with cholesterol level chi square 9.425, p<0.01, with hypertension chi square 4.191, p<0.05, with ischaemic heart disease p<0.01, with smoking p<0.01, with alcoholism p<0.01, with angina p<0.01. CONCLUSIONS The findings of the present study indicate that regulating the level of CRP will help to decrease the risk of acute schematic stroke. The study concludes that high hsCRP level predicts the chance of higher level of acute ischaemic stroke. Furthermore, diabetes mellitus is also associated with higher CRP level and this is the reason for majority stroke patients having diabetes mellitus. Indepth study in CRP levels and its regulation should be conducted.
