Edema from intracerebral hemorrhage: the role of thrombin

Journal of Neurosurgery
K R LeeJ T Hoff

Abstract

The mechanism by which intracerebral hemorrhage leads to the formation of brain edema is unknown. This study assesses the components of blood to determine if any are toxic to surrounding brain. Various solutions were infused stereotactically into the right basal ganglia of rats. The animals were sacrificed 24 hours later; brain edema and ion contents were measured. Whole blood caused an increase in brain water content and ion changes consistent with brain edema. Concentrated blood cells, serum from clotted blood, and plasma from unclotted blood all failed to provoke edema formation when infused directly into the brain. On the other hand, activation of the coagulation cascade by adding prothrombinase to plasma did produce brain edema. The edema response to whole blood could be prevented by adding a specific thrombin inhibitor, hirudin, to the injected blood. This study indicates that thrombin plays an important role in edema formation from an intracerebral blood clot.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
