Article Synopsis
  • Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) levels were evaluated in patients with acute spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) to determine their connection to neurological outcomes.
  • A study involving 106 patients and 106 controls showed that patients had significantly higher NGAL levels compared to controls, and these levels correlated with various clinical measures such as blood glucose and stroke severity.
  • Increased NGAL levels were identified as a predictor of unfavorable outcomes at 90 days, indicating its potential as a prognostic marker in acute brain injuries like ICH.

Background: S100A12 is implicated in inflammatory reactions. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between serum S100A12 concentrations and 30-day mortality in patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

Methods: We prospectively included 182 healthy controls and 182 ICH patients within 24h after stroke onset.

Background: Thioredoxin (TRX) is a potent anti-oxidant and its circulating concentration is increased in some critical illnesses. We measured the serum TRX concentrations and further investigated the relationship between serum TRX concentrations and hemorrhagic severity and outcome after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

Methods: A total of 218 ICH patients and 218 healthy controls were enrolled in this prospective, observatory study.
