Comparative lipid profile study between ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke

Abstract

Background:
Changes in the level of lipid profile had been suggested as a risk factor
for those patients, developing an ischemic stroke opposite to that with
haemornhgic stroke.
Patients and Methods:
This study was included by (50) patients who experienced an ischemic
stroke and (50) patients with haemorrhgie stroke of either sex during their
admission to Azadi teaching hospital through period of 10th of October 2013 and
10th of October 2014, with an acute onset after full clinical examination and
radiological investigation.
The aim of the study was for evaluation of lipid profile with 8-12 hours overnight fasting. By enzymatic colorimetric method.
Results:
For those patients with an ischemie stroke (40%) of them had high total
cholesterol followed by (14%) of same group with low level of high density
lipoproten cholesterol.
Triglyceride level was nearly same in both an ischemic and haemorrhgic
study groups with no different in between them regarding low density
cholesterol.
Conclusion:
An ischemic stroke patients had higher level of total cholesterol and lower
level of high density cholesterol level, than those with haemorrhgic stroke.
