Abstract
High mortality and disability resulting from a stroke throughout the world is the cause of fi nding new opportunities to improve early diagnosis and optimize therapeutic approaches. The article presents a review of the literature devoted to the study of glial fi brillary acidic protein (GFAP) as a biomarker in the acute period of stroke, which showed that its use is possible not only to diff erentiate the ischemic and hemorrhagic process, but also to determine the degree of destruction of brain tissue, as in the fi rst hours of a stroke, and in the dynamics. In addition, the GFAP analysis can be useful for monitoring the course of the disease, control the eff ectiveness of therapy, as well as to predict outcomes.
