Correlation between the degree of leukoaraiosis and hyperlipidemia in post-ischemic stroke patients

Leukoaraiosis is a neurological imaging in the periventricular area and centrum semiovale. This condition occurs due to abnormalities small blood vessels brain that lead hypoxia. It often observed patients with ischemic stroke accompanied by risk factors for hyperlipidemia. study aimed evaluate correlation between degree of leukoaraiosis hyperlipidemia post-ischemic patients. A cross-sectional retrospectively was conducted on who underwent MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) T2 FLAIR (fluid-attenuated inversion recovery) sequence at Department Radiology, Dr. Sardjito General Hospital, Yogyakarta, from January 2021 March 2022. total 36 were involved this study. The patient examined MRI. Degree determined based Fazekas classification. Serum cholesterol, HDL (high-density lipoprotein), LDL (low-density triglyceride levels then examined. data obtained analyzed using Spearman test. positive level (p = 0.042; r 0.292) age (p= 0.004; 0.464). However, no HDL, (p>0.05). In conclusion, correlated serum
