Liver Fibrosis and Perihematomal Edema Growth in Primary Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Liver disease is associated with altered serum osmolality, increased thrombin generation, and systemic inflammation, all of which may contribute to perihematomal edema (PHE) after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We evaluated the association between a validated liver fibrosis index and PHE growth in a cohort of patients with primary ICH.
