Abstract | BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: METHODS: Nineteen acute ischaemic stroke patients and 13 controls matched for age, sex and cardiovascular risk factors were included. Serum interleukin-6 level was measured on the 2nd day of stroke at 06:00 am, 10:00 am, 06:00 pm and 10:00 pm using ELISA method. Urine albumin excretion was determined using immunonephelometric method. RESULTS:
Interleukin-6 level and urine albumin excretion were significantly higher in stroke patients than in controls. There was a significant correlation between interleukin-6 level and urine albumin excretion in stroke patients (R = -0.60 at 06:00 am; R = -0.49 at 10:00 am; R = -0.64 at 06:00 pm; R = -0.54 at 10:00 pm) but not in controls. CONCLUSIONS:
