Abstract

Objective To investigate the correlation between CRP、UA and carotid plaques in patients with cerebral infarction. Methods Between January 2013 and January 2014 in our hospital,84 hospitalized patients with acute cerebral infarction were as the observation object. All patients performed carotid artery colour examination and serum CRP and UA check. Results CRP and UA level in plaque group were higher than no plaque group(P 0.05). CRP and UA level in unstable plaque group were higher than the stable plaque group(P 0.05). Conclusion Serum CRP and UA were carotid atherosclerotic plaque risk factors in cerebral infarction.
