Background: The pathophysiology of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) remains unclear. One of the hypotheses suggests that reactive oxygen species play a role in its onset. Thus, we studied F2-isoprostanes (F2-IsoPs)—oxidative stress biomarkers. Our goal was to improve the early diagnosis of DCI in a non-invasive way. Methods: We conducted a prospective single center analysis of 38 aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients. We assessed urine F2-IsoP concentration using immunoenzymatic arrays between the first and fifth day after bleeding. A correlation between urine F2-IsoP concentration and DCI occurrence was examined regarding clinical conditions and outcomes. Results: The urine F2-IsoP concentrations were greater than those in the control groups (p p p Conclusions: High levels of urine F2-IsoPs on day 3 can herald DCI.
