Fibrinogen and LDL Influence on Blood Viscosity and Outcome of Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients in Indonesia

Abstract: Background: To assess the role of risk factors of metabolic syndrome on blood viscosity and the prognosis of acute ischemic stroke in Indonesia based on the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Methods: This study included 135 patients with acute ischemic stroke. Patients underwent measurements of viscosity and risk factor assessment. Analysis was performed to assess the role of these risk factors for blood viscosity and outcomes of acute ischemic stroke with NIHS… Show more

“…There have been many studies reporting increases in blood viscosity to be an independent risk factor [18,19]. Parameters such as dyslipidemia, DM, smoking, hematocrit level, erythrocyte deformability and fibrinogen all affect blood viscosity [20]. In the present study, fibrinogen levels were higher in Group 2 than in Group 1, and the between-group difference was statistically significant.…”

“…We also suggest that high concentration of fibrinogen (which translates as increase in the activation of platelets) may be a risk factor for low serum concentrations of vitamin D less than 50 nmol/L in ischemic stroke patients. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to report on high concentration of fibrinogen being a risk factor for vitamin D deficiency in ischemic stroke; besides, it has been reported that high levels of FIB will increase plasma viscosity, which may lead to low cerebral blood flow and impaired perfusion ultimately leading to a higher severity of stroke ( Rasyid et al, 2019 ; Tao et al, 2020 ). This may explain why NIHSS is more sensitive to the vitamin D deficiency group with high FIB level.…”

“…16 In addition, there are other studies that state fibrinogen is a factor that independently affects blood viscosity in a population of acute ischemic stroke patient. 8 Other studies state that the higher the blood viscosity, the greater vascular resistance, resulting in an increase PI value. 17…”

“…These characteristics causes high levels of fibrinogen will increase blood viscosity. 8 One of the Transcranial Doppler (TCD) parameters is the Pulsatility Index (PI) which evaluates the peripheral resistance of blood vessels. 9 The most important factors Medico-legal Update, October-December 2021, Vol.21, No.…”
