Abstract:
A series of pathophysiologic changes in brain tissues will occur after intracerebral hemorrhage, including the enlargement of hematoma, metabolism abnormality in perihematoma tissues, and formation of cerebral edema. Recent researches have demonstrated that iron ions play an important role in the secondary brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage. Iron chelator can block iron-induced injury process by specifically binding iron ions. This article reviews the changes of iron metabolism, iron-related mechanisms of brain injury, and the neuroprotective effect of iron chelator.
