EVALUATION OF LIPID PROFILE IN YOUNG ADULT STROKE PATIENT AT M Y HOSPITAL INDORE, MADHYA PRADESH

Abstract

Introduction: Stroke is classically characterized as a neurological decit attributed to an acute focal injury of the central nervous system due to impairment of cerebral circulation, resulting in abnormal perfusion of brain causing acute neurological decit. Diabetes mellitus and dyslipidaemia, along with hypertension and smoking are the leading risk factors for the occurrence of stroke. It is most common in elderly patients, but stroke can occur at any age, including childhood. There are many risk factors found to be associated with the stroke but role of lipid abnormality as major risk factor is consistently observed. Aim & Objectives: To evaluate lipid prole status in young patients suffering from stroke and its relationship with etiology of stroke. Material & Methods: This prospective clinical study was conducted in M Y Hospital, Indore in the young (15-45 years) patients suffering from stroke attended the medicine department. The total50 patients were included in the study after informed consent. Complete lipid prole was evaluated using serum sample of patients by standard enzymatic methods in the central lab of hospital. Results & Observations: Total cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL, LDL were found abnormal in 28,16%,82%,62% subjects presented with stroke. Out of theses patients presented with abnormal lipid status the percentage of ischaemic stroke was 13%,7%,32%,27% respectively and haemorrhagic stroke was observed in 01%, 01%,09%, 04% respectively. Conclusions: Our study concluded that relation of dyslipidaemia with ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke patients isn't consistent and more related to ischaemic stroke as compared to haemorrhagic stroke.
