Association between serum glial fibrillary acidic protein and hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage / 临床神经病学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the association between serum glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage(HICH). Methods The level of serum GFAP was detected in 68 patients with HICH by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) and its relationship with bleeding volume,bleeding part,neural deficit score(NDS) and prognosis was analysed, also compared those with the normal control (NC) group. Results Compared with NC group, the levels of serum GFAP in HICH group were increased significantly in 1~14 d after onset (all P20 ng/ml had worse prognosis.Conclusions The level of serum GFAP in patients with HICH is increased significantly, and it is correlate with bleeding volume, condition and prognosis.
