In the present study, a sensitive assay technique for determining AT III related antigen (AT III RA) was developed, and the urinary excretion rate of AT III RA was examined in cerebral stroke. The excretion rate of AT III RA in cerebral hemor-rhage (CH) increased significantly.
The patients with CH were further classified into two group depending on their state of consciousness.
The difference between the deteriorated group and the alert group was statistically significant.
The excretion rate of AT III RA in cerebral thrombosis (CT) was significantly lower than that in CH (p<0.001).
The excretion rate of AT III RA in both CH and CH was significantly higher than that in the healthy control group.
Thus, the results obtained indicate that the excretion rate of AT III RA may change dynamically in cerebral stroke.
