The study of blood biomarkers can offer new possibilities in diagnostics, prognostication, determination of etiology, and management of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. The aim of our study was to assess the relationship between a panel of selected blood biomarkers and clinical and radiodiagnostic parameters in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. Primarily, the aim was to find a prognostic biomarker which could help in deciding on the optimal categorization of treatment. A total of 70 patients were prospectively included in this study. As shown by our findings, higher levels of S100B protein are associated with larger hematoma volume. They predict hematoma progression and an unfavorable outcome. One other positive correlation was found between hematoma volume and interleukin 6, interleukin 10 and blood glucose. Lower levels of matrix metalloproteinase 9 are an independent prognostic factor for hematoma progression in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage.
