- Abstract
Stroke is the second leading cause of death and the third primary cause of disability in adults all over the world. The increasing incidence of stroke seriously affects the lives of patients, especially those who are disabled after stroke. It cost a lot of money for the treatment and adds a heavy burden to the families of stroke patients. Ischemic stroke patients account for the majority of stroke patients. Due to the lack of effective treatment methods for ischemic stroke, prevention is currently considered to be the best measure. Strengthening the study of the risk factors for ischemic stroke and control the risk factors to reduce the morbidity and mortality of ischemic stroke is very important. However, the studies on risk factors for ischemic stroke are limited and the researchers’ views are inconsistent, the studies on some risk factors or potential risk factors for ischemic stroke didn’t have an in-depth studies and lack being taking seriously. Some independent biochemical risk factors for ischemic stroke that can be applied to guide clinical work and help patients to improve their disease conditions are lacking. The article aims to summarize the biochemistry risk factors or potential biochemistry risk factors for ischemic stroke, especially those studied in recent five years, in order to help researchers to facilitate them for making further studies on exploring their association.
