ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the change of copeptin in plasma and its significance in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage combined with stress ulcer.Methods Eighty patients with intracerebral hemorrhage were collected.Forty-nine patients of pure intracerebral hemorrhage and 31 patients of intracerebral hemorrhage combined with stress ulcer were included.Thirty healthy people were taken as controls.The level of copeptin in plasma was measured and compared in all subjects.Results The level of copeptin in plasma in patients with pure intracerebral hemorrhage and intracerebral hemorrhage combined with stress ulcer was significantly higher than that in controls:(303.684 ± 68.691),(527.034 ± 74.111) ng/L vs.(121.460 ± 53.364) ng/L,and the level of copeptin in plasma in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage combined with stress ulcer was significantly higher than that in patients with pure intracerebral hemorrhage.The differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The level of copeptin in plasma in patients with pure intracerebral hemorrhage increases significantly,and it is much higher in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage combined with stress ulcer.
