This study investigated the relationship between prediabetes and stroke-related biomarkers in individuals aged 25\u201345 years in Durban, South Africa. After obtaining ethical approval, a retrospective analysis was performed on blood samples from 100 participants recruited from King Edward Hospital and Inkosi Albert Luthuli Central Hospital. Participants were classified as non-prediabetic (n = 30), prediabetic (n = 35), or type 2 diabetic (n = 35) according to ADA criteria. Plasma concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), fibrinogen, D-dimer, calcium binding protein (S100B), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). It is important to note that none of the participants had confirmed stroke events; these biomarkers were assessed as surrogate indicators of stroke risk. Statistical analyses included one-way ANOVA with Tukey\u2013Kramer tests and Pearson\u2019s correlations. Biomarker concentrations were significantly elevated in prediabetic individuals compared to non-prediabetic controls, with levels further increasing in T2DM. Strong positive correlations were observed between S100B and both HbA1c (r = 0.75, p &lt; 0.0001) and fasting glucose (r = 0.75, p &lt; 0.0001). These findings suggest that inflammatory, coagulation, and neurovascular biomarkers, particularly S100B, may indicate early stroke risk in prediabetes. Further investigation into these biomarkers could improve early detection strategies and stroke prevention efforts in at-risk populations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cimb47110884","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,30]],"date-time":"2025-10-30T03:44:39Z","timestamp":1761795879000},"page":"884","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Retrospective Assessment of Changes in Stroke Risk-Related Biomarkers in Individuals with Prediabetes from Durban, South Africa: Preliminary Findings"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"47","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-4404-2500","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yerushka","family":"Naicker","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Physiology, School of Laboratory Medicine and Medical Sciences, College of Health Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban 3629, South Africa"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2246-0038","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andile","family":"Khathi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Physiology, School of Laboratory Medicine and Medical Sciences, College of Health Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban 3629, South Africa"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Goyal, R., Singhal, M., and Jialal, I.
