Mechanisms of hemoglobin and its degradation products in brain edema formation after intracerebral hemorrhage / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

The peak of the brain edema after intracerebral hemorrhage usually begins after 3 to 4 days.A large quantity of hemoglobin releases and degrades during this process,and its degradation products iron ion,bilirubin and carbon monoxide,etc play important roles in the process of cerebral edema.They all involve in the formation Of delayed brain edema after intracerebral hemorrhage.The research of hemoglobin and its degradation products is expected to find out a new way for the treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage.
