The presence of silent cerebral infarction (SCI) increases the risk of transient ischemia attack, symptomatic stroke, cardiovascular disease, and dementia. Total bilirubin (TB) levels were demonstrated to be decreased in carotid intima-media thickness, cardiovascular disease, stroke, and peripheral arterial disease. However, little information is available concerning the correlation between TB and SCI.
