Diagnostic and Prognostic Value of Plasma Adrenomedullin in COPD Exacerbation

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Adrenomedullin (ADM) is a regulatory peptide with many biological actions, but little is known about its role in patients with COPD exacerbation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic value of plasma ADM levels on hospital admission in patients with COPD exacerbation. METHODS: Consecutive subjects admitted to the hospital for COPD exacerbation were included and were followed up for 1 y; in addition, subjects with stable COPD from an out-patient clinic and healthy v… Show more

“…MR-proADM is a promising biomarker2123 that has been actively investigated as a tool to improve risk stratification in COPD patients 11,18,24. During COPD exacerbations, MR-proADM levels increase,11,24 suggesting that it could be of special interest in that specific context. In the current study, we confirmed previous reports,11,24 showing that MR-proADM levels on admission are higher in patients with subsequently worse outcomes.…”

In the current study, we confirmed previous reports,11,24 showing that MR-proADM levels on admission are higher in patients with subsequently worse outcomes. Even after adjustment for the clinical risk score category, MR-proADM remained independently associated with outcomes at 7 and 30 days.…”

“…The MRM-MS approach, although previously applied to other disease states [ 14 , 27 , 28 ], marks a departure from traditional methods of biomarker research in AECOPD. Previous attempts at identifying biomarkers have relied on known proteins with available immunoassay platforms, for instance CRP, IL-6, angiopoietin-2, adrenomedullin, and troponin [ 6 , 29 32 ]. Unfortunately, proteins lacking commercial immunoassays may be overlooked by this strategy.…”

“…The several effects, such as neuro-hormonal compensatory channel on target organs, gives it its wide biological activity, it is suggested that ADM acts as a powerful protective factor for the organism in situations of cellular stress, using mechanism diuresis and natriuresis, or contributing with the fight against infection, among others [4,8]. The relevance of the ADM is based on plasma concentrations of MR-proADM in humans, it has been shown to be increased in the course of major life-threatening diseases (sepsis, pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, myocardial infarction and heart failure), combining as counter-regulatory mechanism [9], and being very useful in risk stratification as it has been able to predict mortality in patients with these critical processes [5,[10][11][12][13][14][15].…”
