Abstract

Background : Recent studies have demonstrated relations between inflammation and stroke. The aim of this study was to investigate CRP level in independent risk factors of stroke patients. Method : Thirty-five ischemic stroke patients were included in this study from Febrary to September 2003. Plasma concentration of CRP was measured over 72 hours after stroke. We examined a average CRP level and associations between CRP and other variables. Result : This study didn't show high CRP level in stroke patients comparing with recent reported studies. Associations between CRP level and other variables didn't show any significant change. Conclusion: In this study, CRP level was not associated with acute stroke significantly.
