Role of serum alkaline phosphatase as a potential biomarker of severity and prognosis in intracerebral hemorrhage

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) occurs when impaired blood vessels ruptures in the parenchyma of brain, causing blood to leak inside the brain.1 As the second-most common form of stroke, ICH is a destructive disease with high morbidity, disability and mortality, which affects around 2 million people worldwide each year.2,3 In spite of advances in neurocritical care, the therapeutic strategies for patients with ICH are limited.4 In this case, looking for blood biomarkers to explore pathological processes, assess the disease severity and provide early prognostic information is of great significance for ICH.
