Association between bleeding volume with heme oxygenase-1 and malondialdehyde levels in patients of acute intracerebral hemorrhage.

Abstract

Background: Oxidative stress plays an important role in secondary brain damage after a stroke of intracerebral hemorrhage because it causes permanent damage to grey matter, white matter taken by brain blood barrier disorders, and brain edema with brain cells. This study aimed to determine the correlation between bleeding volume and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in stroke patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage at Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya.
