Background: To study serum lipid profile in non-diabetic patients with stroke and to determine whether there is any significant correlation between them.
Material &Methods: Total 50 stroke patients (Ischaemic 35 and haemorrhagic 15 ) and 50 controls were included in the study. Diabetic stroke patients, cerebrovascular accidents associated with head injury or brain tumour, pregnancy, patients on drugs for dyslipidaemia, were excluded from the study. Serum urea and creatinine and fasting serum lipid profile was done.
Results: 20 patients had elevated serum total cholesterol levels out of which 78.52% had Ischaemic stroke and 21.48% had hemorrhagic stroke. 10 cases had elevated serum Triglyceride levels of which 77.62% had Ischaemic stroke and 22.38% had hemorrhagic stroke. 75.40% of cases having elevated serum LDL cholesterol suffered from Ischaemic stroke where as 24.60% had hemorrhagic stroke.
Conclusions: A statistically positive correlation was found between serum total cholesterol, Triglyceride, LDL levels and the risk of stroke
