Description

Objective: To investigate the significance of changes of serum levels of hsCRP and ferritin (SF) in patients with ischemic cerebral vascular disease. Methods: Serum hsCRP and SF levels were measured with scatter velocity turbidimetry in 120 patients with ischemic cerebral vascular accident and 100 controls. Results: The serum levels of hsCRP and SF in patients with ischemic cerebral vascular accident were significantly higher than those in controls (P<0.01). Conclusion: Serum hsCRP and SF levels were markedly increased after ischemic cerebral vascular accident. They might be regarded as independent risk factor and outcome predictor for the disease.
