A Study on the Relationship between Changes in Serum hs- CRP Levels and Chinese Ischemic Stroke Subclassification

Abstract

Objective: To make sure of the relationship between changes in the serum hs- CRP level and Chinese ischemic stroke subclassification( CISS) to explore the action mechanism of the serum high sensitive C- reactive protein( hs- CRP) in ischemic stroke. Methods: The serum hs- CRP level was measured in 177 ischemic stroke patients. They were classified into2 major ischemic stroke subtypes based on the causes and pathogenesis to explore the relationship between the serum hs- CRP level and CISS. Results: The serum hs- CRP level in ischemic stroke groups was significantly higher than that in the control group( P 0. 05). There was significant difference in the serum hs- CRP level between different Chinese ischemic stroke subtypes( P 0. 05). Conclusion: The level of serum hs- CRP is closely correlated to the incidence of the ischemic stroke and there is significant difference in the serum hs- CRP level between different Chinese ischemic stroke subtypes.
