Özet
Objective: The role played by inflammation in the etiopathogenesis of stroke has been intensively investigated in recent years. In this clinical study, the relationship between acute phase reactants (APR) and acute ischemic stroke (AIS) was investigated. Material and Methods: 126 patients with AIS and 104 volunteer individuals as controls were included in the study. White blood count (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen, lipoprotein (a) (Lp a) and complementary fragments (C-3 and C-4) levels were investigated both in patients with AIS and the controls. Results: In patients with AIS, WBC and fibrinogen values were significantly higher than the controls (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, respectively). There was no significant difference between Lp(a), C-3 and C-4 values in patients with AIS and controls (p=0.727, p=0.163, p=0.497, respectively). Conclusion: The most important goal in the prevention of primary stroke is that the risk factors leading to stroke are defined and changed.
