Diagnostic value of brain damage markers levels in serum during the first 24 hours of the brain ischemic stroke

Aim. To determine the brain damage markers levels in serum during the first 24 hours of the brain ischemic stroke. Methods and results. 115 patients in acute period of brain ischemic stroke were examined. Conclusion. It was established that development of brain ischemic stroke is followed by increase of serum level of neuron specific enolase (Delta%= 1010; p< 0,05), myelin basic protein (Delta%= 440; p< 0,05) and S100 protein (Delta%= 310; p< 0,05) in the fi rst 24 hours of disease onset.
