SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS OF THE ROLE OF C-REACTIVE PROTEIN AND HYPERGOMOCYSTEINEMIA IN CAUSE OF CHRONIC ISCHEMIC STROKE

The accumulation of homocysteine leads to loosening of the walls of the arteries, the appearance of local defects in the endothelium. Increased levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and hypercomocysteinemia are considered as independent factors for the development of endothelial damage and atherosclerosis. This scientific article analyzes that C-reactive protein and homocysteine are major risk factors in the development of chronic ischemic stroke.
