Background and Purpose-Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) activity has been associated with hemorrhagic transformation (HT) in experimental models of cerebral ischemia. Our aim was to investigate the relationship between MMP-9 concentrations in blood within 24 hours of stroke onset and subsequent HT of cerebral infarction.Methods-We studied 250 patients with a hemispheric ischemic stroke of 7.8+/-4.5 hours' duration. Early CT signs of cerebral infarction were evaluated on admission. The HT and infarct volume were analyzed from the CT performed on days 4 through 7. MMP-9 levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in blood samples obtained on admission.Results-HT was observed in 38 patients (15.2%): 24 (63.2%) had a hemorrhagic infarction, and 14 (36.8%) had a parenchymal hematoma. A total of 108 patients (43%) received anticoagulants before the second CT scan. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures, body temperature, frequency of early CT signs of ischemia (92% versus 22%), and treatment with anticoagulants (79% versus 37%) were significantly higher in the group with HT (P
