Moreover, sGFAP levels did not significantly differ between patients with presence of cerebral microbleeds (median GFAP: 207.8 vs. 185.8 pg/ml, p = 0.65) or lacunes (median sGFAP: 175.5 vs. 187.2 pg/ml, p = 0.86), compared to those without these lesions. Here, GFAP is linked to cerebral microbleeds.
