IL-38 as an early predictor of the ischemic stroke prognosis

CONCLUSION: The results indicate that tPA could meaningfully increase the IL-38 serum level. Also, a negative correlation has been found between IL-38 serum changes in response to tPA and mRS. Since the lower changes in IL-38 serum level result in a poorer prognosis, we conclude that IL-38 serum changes might be a novel early predictor factor for ischemic stroke prognosis.PMID:34157522 | DOI:10.1016/j.cyto.2021.155626
