HOMOCYSTEINE, SOLUBLE FIBRIN AND Dâ€“DIMER LEVELS IN CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENTS

Shaikh Mahmood, Abbas Hyder, Syyeda Anees

Abstract :

Increased homocysteine, soluble fiin and D – dimer have been considered useful markers for the diagnosis of thrombosis. The present study was undertaken to evaluate serum homocysteine (Hcy), soluble fiin (SF) and Plasma D– dimer levels in patients with cardiovascular accidents.One hundred and three patients were enrolled for the study and thirty seven age and sex matched individuals free from cardiovascular diseases were taken as control group. Serum homocysteine (Hcy) levels were estimated by ELISA method using Axis homocysteine ELISA kit Manufactured by Ranbaxy Diagnostic Ltd. India. Plasma concentration of soluble fiin (SF) and D – dimer were measured by Cobas (Fully automated clinical chemistry analyser). The findings suggest that serum homocysteine (Hcy) and concentrations of D – dimer and soluble fiin (SF) were significantly high to diagnose patients associated with male preponderance which increase with advancing age.
