Serum dopamine beta-hydroxylase activity following subarachnoid hemorrhage in man.
Serum dopamine beta-hydroxylase activity was followed in seven patients who had experienced primary subarachnoid hemorrhage resulting from a ruptured intracranial aneurysm. This preliminary study suggested that dopamine beta-hydroxylase levels were initially elevated following subarachnoid hemorrhage, after which they progressively declined during the first week post hemorrhage. After a minimum was reached, the activity rose again to a stable level two to three weeks post hemorrhage.
