Summary

Intracerebral hemorrhage is bleeding into the brain and is a major cause of stroke and other complications. Brain injury from intracerebral hemorrhage occurs in two phases. The early phase involves the mechanical compression of brain tissue by the expanding hematoma. In a later phase, brain swelling develops causing further compression that may lead to brain herniation and death. This study investigates the neuroprotective role of haptoglobin, in minimizing the development of brain swelling following intracerebral hemorrhage.
