A New Marker in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients: Monocyte / HDL Ratio

Abstract

Objective: Stroke is a major cause of global morbidity and mortality. Ischemic stroke is usually marked by cell death associated with inflammation and oxidative stress, and the role of inflammation in neurological diseases has become increasingly obvious. In our study, we studied the monocyte / HDL ratio (MHR) which can support the theory of inflammation in stroke and can be used in clinical practice. MHR can be used a prognostic marker in stroke patients base on this theory.

Method: Our study registered 91 acute ischemic stroke patients (47 females and 44 males) and 50 healthy controls.

Results: MHR was elevated in the patient group and correlated with high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP). MHR was higher in patients with high a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) than those with a low NIHSS (p=0.050) as well as in patients with a larger infarct area and in than those with a smaller area (p=0.050). The MHR correlated with both the clinical condition and infarct area in acute ischemic stroke patients, which underscores the value of MHR as a new marker.

Conclusion: This cross-sectional study of 91 acute ischemic stroke patients indicates that inflammation markers and MHR are correlated with clinical status and even radiological parameters.
