GFAP is an astroglial protein that is released rapidly in case of intracerebral hemorrhage, but with delay in case of ischemic stroke. Thus, within the first hours after symptom onset, GFAP may be used to differentiate between patients with intracerebral hemorrhage and ischemic stroke. This may have implications on the triage of acute stroke patients.
