alkaline phosphatase/stroke

Background: In the present study, we assessed the relationship between serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels and cognitive function changes in acute ischaemic stroke patients. Methods: We retrospectively collected the

Elevated alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels are associated with cerebral small vascular diseases, such as silent brain infarction and cerebral white matter hyperintensity (cWMH), but few prospective data are available for cerebral microbleeds (CMBs). The aim of the study was to investigate

BACKGROUND Stroke is one of the most common causes of disability and death. Higher alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels have been associated with poor functional outcomes and mortality in previous studies. We investigated alterations in serum ALP concentrations and functional outcomes in patients with

Although serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels have been associated with mortality from all-cause and from either ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, no study has been published of the associations between ALP and the incidence of stroke. We therefore examined the associations of ALP with risk of

OBJECTIVE Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is associated with risk of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with kidney failure. However, there is little data about effects of ALP on stroke outcomes in patients with preserved kidney function. The study aimed to explore the association between serum

BACKGROUND Serum Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) & phosphate are considered to be indicators of vascular calcification. Link between bone metabolism, vascular calcification, cardiovascular events have been well studied in chronic kidney disease and ischemic heart disease. OBJECTIVE To determine that

BACKGROUND Although the critical role of alkaline phosphatase in bone mineralization is clearly understood, the potentially adverse effect of high alkaline phosphatase levels on the cardiovascular system was only recently suggested. In this study, we hypothesized that increased levels of serum

BACKGROUND The clinical impacts of serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and phosphate on early death are not fully understood in patients with acute ischemic stroke. We examined the associations between serum ALP, phosphate, and in-hospital mortality after ischemic stroke. METHODS Serum ALP and

Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the U.S., with more than 100,000 deaths annually. There are a multitude of risks associated with stroke, including aging, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, Alzheimer's disease (AD), and immune suppression. One of the many challenges, which has so far

OBJECTIVE Elevated alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is considered as a marker of liver function in clinical practice. Furthermore, it has been identified that liver function can contribute to hemorrhagic transformation (HT). However, whether ALP levels play a role in HT after stroke remains an open

OBJECTIVE To investigate the association of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels with the risk of the composite end point of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and all-cause mortality as well as each of them separately. METHODS Prospective cohort study. METHODS Within the framework of the Tehran Lipid and

Dexamethasone (DXM) is known as an immunosuppressive drug used for inflammation control. In the present study, we attempted to examine whether DXM administration could attenuate the hypercoagulable state and the overproduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines, improve arterial hypotension, cerebral

Bone remodeling is altered in all metabolic bone diseases, especially in post-menopausal women and in the elderly. Predicting changes in bone mineral density (BMD) is useful to manage the progression of such diseases and to potentially provide interventions in reducing fracture risk. Continuous bone

The dry fruits of Hippophae rhamnoides (so-called "Saji" or "Sea buckthorn") are used in China as a herbal medicine. The present work studied the effects on microvessels in the left ventricular wall, hematological parameters, cardiovascular performance and plasma constituents in spontaneously

BACKGROUND Serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a marker of vascular calcification. A high serum ALP level is associated with an increase in cardiovascular events, and predicts poor functional outcome in patients with stroke. We investigated whether serum ALP was associated with cerebral small vessel
