Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2563414A] A method of diagnosing or differentiating stroke comprises measuring the level of one or more of the biomarkers h-FABP, D-dimer, sTNFR1 and IL-6 in a sample taken from a patient who has suffered or is suffering stroke-like symptoms and comparing the measured level to a corresponding reference value, where the reference value is derived from a stroke mimic patient cohort or a combined stroke mimic and TIA patient cohort. A method is also provided of determining whether to administer thrombolytic therapy to a patient who has suffered or is suffering stroke-like symptoms. Use of a stroke mimic or a combined stroke mimic and TIA patient cohort sample biomarker measurement value as a reference value in an assay for stroke diagnosis or differentiation is also disclosed.
