Background: Cerebral infarction caused by different reasons seems differ in fibrinogen levels, so the current work intends to explore the relationship between the fibrinogen level and subtypes of the TOAST criteria in the acute stage of ischemic stroke.Methods: A total of 577 case research objects were treated acute ischemic stroke patients in our hospital from December 2008 to December 2010, and blood samples within 72 hours of the onset were processed with the fibrinogen (PT-der) measurement. Classification of selected patients according to the TOAST Criteria was conducted to study the distribution of fibrinogen levels in the stroke subtypes.Results: The distribution of fibrinogen levels in the subtypes was observed to be statistically insignificant.Conclusions: In the acute stage of ischemic stroke, fibrinogen level was not related to the subtypes of the TOAST criteria.
