[Evaluation of lactic acid levels in blood of patients with ischemic stroke in the earliest stage of the disease].
The aim of the study was the assessment of concentrations of lactic acid in the blood of patients with mild course and severe course of ischaemic stroke in the earliest stage of the disease. The subject of the study were 20 patients with a mild ischaemic stroke and 20 patients with a severe one on its 1st, 3rd and 7th day. Enzymatic method for determining lactic acid content in the blood was used (the kits Test-Combination Lactate fully enzymatic of Boehringer Mannheim). In the group of patients with mild ischaemic stroke increase values of lactic acid were shown on all days of the disease, but the differences were statistically insignificant. In patients with severe ischaemic stroke these values were higher than in controls, and the differences were statistically significant. The study showed a positive correlation between high concentrations of lactic acid and severe clinical condition of patients.
