We identified a decrease in the concentration of plasmatic iron at 48 hours afterhemorrhagic stroke, which remained stable 72 hours after the ictus (243.4versus 74.85 versus 94.4mg/dL; p = 0.02).Concentrations of heme, Hx and Hp during the first three days after the eventremained stable (Table 3). The gene discussed is HPX; the disease is Stroke.
