Inflammatory response after acute ischemic stroke

This study aimed to characterize the time course of inflammatory parameters after acute ischemic stroke.We serially determined high sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen, and leukocyte counts at 10 time points between days 1 and 90 after ischemic stroke and in control subjects.CRP did not significantly change, whereas fibrinogen increased after stroke. At all time points, CRP and fibrinogen were higher than in healthy control...
