Relationship between high plasma C-reactive protein and outcome in patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage / 临床神经病学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the relationship between the plasma levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and the severity of disease as well as outcome in patients with cerebral hemorrhage at early stage. Methods The CRP plasma levels were measured by scatter turbidimetry in 89 patients with cerebral hemorrhage within 24 hrs after onset of the disease. The control group included 30 healthy people who received medical examinations. We analyzed the relationship between CRP levels and the severity of disease as well as outcome.Results CRP levels were less than 8 mg/L (4.21?1.78 mg/L) in control group, and increased in 51 patients with cerebral hemorrhage (30.33?2.53 mg/L), with an abnormal rate of 57.30%. CRP levels and abnormal rate differed significantly (all P
