Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Haptoglobin (Hp) binds to and facilitates clearance of heme. Compared with HP 1-1 and 1-2 genotypes, HP 2-2 has a weaker binding affinity and has been linked with increased inflammation and vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). OBJECTIVE: This study aims to assess levels of inflammatory cytokines in the context of different HP genotypes. METHODS: Patients were enrolled among those...
