How Does TNF Alpha Relate to Intraventricular Hemorrhage?
Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a common and serious complication in premature infants, characterized by bleeding into the brain's ventricular system. Inflammatory cytokines like TNF Alpha are thought to contribute to blood-brain barrier disruption and subsequent hemorrhage. Elevated levels of TNF Alpha have been associated with a higher risk of developing IVH. Understanding the role of TNF Alpha in IVH could lead to better preventive and therapeutic strategies.
