Researchers have discovered that levels of certain inflammatory markers in the blood, such as the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), homocysteine, and the white blood cell to platelet ratio (WPR), can help predict the instability and risk of rupture in small brain aneurysms. This finding could lead to a simple, cost-effective way to identify patients with high-risk aneurysms who may need closer monitoring or earlier treatment, potentially preventing devastating brain hemorrhages.
Inflammation and Brain Aneurysms
Brain aneurysms are abnormal bulges or weaknesses in the walls of the brain’s arteries. While most remain stable and do not pose a serious risk, some can suddenly rupture, causing a life-threatening Click Here
