Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and Ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase isozyme L1 (UCHL-1), are a protein and enzyme that are released in your body following injury to your neurons - specifically following a head injury. The measurement of these molecules has shown to have predictive value for potential complications related to head injuries (e.g. bleeding). This study seeks to determine if GFAP and UCHL-1 released by your body following a head injury can be used to predict the likelihood of such complications.
Thank you for your interest, but this study is recruiting by invitation only.
