Comparative analysis of content of the matrix metalloproteinase-9 in patients with acute cerebral strokes of different types

Aim. It was conducted a comparative determination of matrix metalloproteinase- 9 in 116 patients with ischemic cerebral infarction, hemorrhagic stroke, ischemic stroke with hemorrhagic transformation in patients with circulatory encephalopathy. Methods and results. The study determined that the concentration of MMP-9 in patients with hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke with hemorrhagic transformation is higher than in patients with ischemic stroke. Conclusion. It was determined that in patients with ischemic stroke , in which MMP- 9 is below 50 ng / ml , hemorrhagic transformation were not observed regardless of the severity of the condition and volume of the lesio
