Thiol/Disulphide Homeostasis and Albumin in Vertigo

Vertigo is a common complaint in the Emergency Department (ED). The differential diagnosis of central and peripheral vertigo is a difficult issue that directly affects mortality. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the preferred diagnostic tool, but may not be suitable in all patients due to logistic and economic conditions. In this study, the investigators evaluated the role of thiol/disulfide homeostasis (TDH) parameters and ischemia modified albumin (IMA) levels to assist in the value of being used instead of MRI.
