The impact of initial systemic inflammatory response after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage

Abstract

Systemic inflammatory response would be activated after aneurysm rupture; a similar systemic inflammatory response would be noticed in non-aneurysmal SAH. The degree of inflammatory response could reflect the severity of EBI, and excessive inflammatory response could also aggravate EBI, induce immunodepression and increase the susceptibility to infections. Inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, IL-10 and CRP are important predictors.
