Estimation of Fibrinogen Level among Ischemic Stroke Patients in Khartoum State-2021
Abstract
Background: Ischemic stroke is known as rapidly progressing clinical feature of focal disturbance of cerebral function extending for more than 24 hours or leading to death, with no apparent cause other than vascular origin
Material and methods: This was a case control study conducted at the research laboratory of the national center of neurological sciences, Khartoum, Sudan during the period July to November, 2021, and aimed to estimate of fibrinogen level among Sudanese patients with ischemic stroke. 50 patients attending police hospital and diagnosed with IS were selected as case group. In addition to that, apparently healthy individuals with no history of stroke were selected as control group. 1.8 ml of blood samples were collected in sodium citrate anticoagulant container for measurement of fibrinogen level by clauss method in coagulometer device.
Results: For the fibrinogen level the result observed significance increase in the mean of fibrinogen level in case group when compared to control group with (P ≤ 0.05). However there was insignificance correlation between fibrinogen level and age, gender, family history, hypertension and smoking the P value was (0.350, 0.900, 0.875, 0.378, 0.435, 0.417) respectively.
Conclusion: The study concluded that there was clearly increase in the fibrinogen level in case group when compared to control group. And there was insignificant correlation of fibrinogen level with risk factors (age, gender, smoking, family history, hypertension and diabetes Miletus)
