In a randomized controlled study, adjunctive anti-inflammatory treatment with dexamethasone was shown to reduce unfavourable outcome with 10% [5, 6].
Given the promising future of lactadherin, both in diagnostic imaging and for anti-inflammatory treatment, knowledge of the kinetics of the compound is highly relevant.
Therefore, the inflammatory markers correlated to the time course must be considered for any anti-inflammatory treatment approach in patients with acute ischemic strokes [14].
