Correlation between D-dimer and cerebral infarction subtype

Objective :To investigate the correlation of D-dimer(DD) and cerebral infarction subtype.Methods :156 patients with cerebral infarction and the onset less than 72 hours were tested by CT and accorded with the cerebral infarction standard;their serous DD were examined through the latex agglutination test(LX) and were compared in different groups.Results: The serous DD in embolism was the highest(p0.01);the DD in thrombosis was higher than lacunar infarction group and watershed infarction group(p0.01);the DD in watershed infarction group was the lowest(p0.01) and compared with lacunar infarction group had no difference(p0.05).Conclusion: The serous DD was distinctly high in the onset of cerebral infarction and the degree was different in the subtypes;these are important to classify the acute cerebral infarction in the onset and to the therapy.
