The normal value of endothelial growth factor ranges from 0 to 160, endothelial growth factor 177 belongs to the higher than normal value, further examination is recommended.
Endothelial growth factor, also known as VEGF, has a variety of effects in the human body. It can promote angiogenesis and is also associated with the process of cardiovascular disease and tumor growth.
A high VEGF level in the examination should lead to suspicion of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. the degree of VEGF expression and the degree of myocardial injury are positively correlated, the more severe the myocardial injury the higher the VEGF value. VEGF expression also increases during cerebral ischemia and hypoxia.
In addition, VEGF promotes angiogenesis and is directly involved in the division and proliferation of vascular endothelial cells, which can be involved in tumor development. High expression may be related to gastric cancer and thyroid tumors.
Elevated VEGF values found in the examination are recommended for further examination under the guidance of a doctor.
