Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To study serum quantities of neuron specific enolase (NSE), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and NR2-antibodies (NR2-ab) in various cerebrovascular pathology and assess their value as a panel used as a diagnostic and predictive tool for stroke.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
NSE, GFAP and NR2-ab serum levels were measured twice for 84 patients with ischemic stroke (IS) and 8 patients with hemorrhagic stroke (HI), once for 8 patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA), 26 patients with chronic brain ischemia (CBI), 27 healthy volunteers (HV).
RESULTS
NSE and GFAP levels were significantly higher in IS than in CBI and HV patients, and NR2-ab levels in IS were higher than in TIA and lower than in HV. In patients with more pronounced neurological deficiency and less favorable functional outcome by day 10-14 of IS, the levels of NSE, GFAP and NR2-ab were higher. Sensitivity and specificity of biomarker panel was higher than with their separate application.
CONCLUSION
The NSE, GFAP and NR2-ab biomarkers have a diagnostic and predictive value for IS.
