PREVALENCE OF PREDIABETES, DYSLIPIDEMIA AND C-REACTIVE PROTEIN LEVELS AMONG STROKE PATIENTS

Abstract

Background: Stroke is characterized by the sudden onset of neurological deficits lasting more than 24 hours due to a focal vascular cause. Stroke patients often exhibit hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia, with elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke. Understanding the glycemic status, lipid profile, and CRP levels in stroke patients is crucial for effective management and prevention
