Views: SCI, when compared to cerebral stroke, is a relatively rare disease, being diagnosed 100 times less often. Our knowledge as to its root causes, proper treatment for it and long-term prognosis is still inconclusive.
Background And Aims: In recent years, there has been a growing interest in factor XIII in ischaemic stroke. The study's main aim was to assess the usefulness of factor XIII concentration determination in patients with acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) treated with thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA).
Methods: The study was conducted in two groups of 84 patients with AIS: group I-with thrombolytic therapy and group II-without thrombolysis.
