Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the changes of serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) and plasma D-dimer levels and their relationship with the volume of cerebral infarc-tion in patients with acute cerebral infarction. Methods: The levels of serum hs-CRP and plasma D-dimer in the cerebral infarction group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P ＜0.05); as compared with the patients with moderate infarction (5-10 cm3) and small infarction (≤ 5 cm3), the levels of serum hs-CRP and plasma D-dimer in patients with large cerebral infarction (≥ 10 cm3 ) increased significantly (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusions: Measuring the levels of serum hs-CRP and plasma D-dimer may contribute to the early diagnosis of cerebral infarction and the prediction of the volume of cerebral infarction.
