The following is a summary of “A high-performance core laboratory GFAP/UCH-L1 test for the prediction of intracranial injury ...

GFAP is a protein specific to the brain released into the bloodstream when brain cells are damaged or destroyed. It is already used in assessing traumatic brain injuries. In a parallel study ...

Patients were diagnosed as having hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke on the basis of results from CT or MRI brain scans. The researchers found that serum GFAP was detectable in 81% of patients with ...

Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) levels peak around 24 hours after traumatic brain injury (TBI) 2. Higher GFAP levels ...

One is a protein called D-dimer, which is associated with blood clots, and the other, called GFAP, is associated with bleeding in the brain. The absence of GFAP helps to rule out a haemorrhagic ...

They then measured the concentrations of five molecular markers that previous research suggested might hold promise for diagnosing brain injuries: GFAP, neurofilament light chain, amyloid-beta 40 ...

Serum GFAP and pTau181 were also assessed using Elecsys. The cohort included 139 patients with ALS and 70 patients without ALS. The researchers identified high correlation between all methods used ...

A rapid blood test could speed treatment for people who have suffered a stroke related to brain bleeding, a new study says. Stroke victims with brain bleeds have nearly seven times higher blood ...

People with brain bleeds had nearly 7 times higher blood levels of a specific brain protein, called glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), than those who had strokes caused by clots in a study ...
