Prospects of laboratory risk evaluation of multiple sclerosis relapse and progressing

Abstract

The Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients research has revealed that the matrix metalloproteinase-2 level in cerebrospinal fluid which is higher then 30 ng/ml during the relapse and/or remission period increases repeated relapse risk during 2 years term by 2.8 times. The rapid MS progressing is associated with the high level of adhesion molecule (sPECAM) in cerebrospinal fluid.
