Abstract：Objective:To discuss the value of ischemia modified albumin ( IMA) in the diagnosis of acute pulmonary embolism (APE). Methods: The levels of plasmid IMA in 30 patients with APE (the experimental group) and 30 healthy subjects (the control group) were measured. The cut-off values of IMA in the diagnosis of APE were established with ROC curves. Results: The levels of IMA in the experimental group were significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0. 01). According to the ROC curve, the most appropriate IMA cut-off value in APE was 65. 38 U/ml(with sensitivity 83. 3%, specificity 80. 0%). The level of plasmid IMA in high risk group of APE was higher significantly than that in medium or low risk groups (P<0. 05). Conclusion: IMA may be helpful to the diagnosis and evaluation of the risk stratification of acute pulmonary embolism.
