Title: Detection and signlficance of C-reactive protein in elderly patients with diabetes mellitus and cerebral infarction
Abstract: Objective To evaluate the significance of the detection of serum C-reactive protein (CRP) in elderly patients with diabetes mellitus and cerebral infarction.Methods Seventy-two patients with diabetes mellitus and cerebral infarction (diabetic cerebral infarction group),66 patients with cerebral infarction and without diabetes mellitus (non-diabetic cerebral infarction group) and 60 healthy persons (control group) from October 2008 to January 2011 were selected.The level of serum CRP was detceted.Results The level of CRP was ( 3.81 ± 2.23 ) mg/L in diabetic cerebral infarction group,( 2.48 ± 2.24 ) mg/L in non-diabetic cerebral infarction group and (0.68±0.16) mg/L in control group.The levels of CRP in diabetic cerebral infarction group and non-diabetic cerebral infarction group were significantly higher than that in control group (P < 0.05).The level of CRP in diabetic cerebral infarction group was obviously higher than that in non-diabetic cerebral infarction group (P <0.05).CRP abnormal rate was 70.8%(51/72) in diabetic cerebral infarction group and 43.9% (29/66) in non-diabetic cerebral infarction group,which had statistical significance (P < 0.05).Concluslon CRP has important predictive value to the occurrence and development of diabetic cerebral infarction.
