“…Higher levels in plasma of patients with ALI/ARDS have also been reported in a few small studies 53,54 . In one study of 57 patients with severe trauma, elevated PCPIII levels were associated with higher mortality, longer duration of mechanical ventilation and poorer oxygenation 55 . The finding of elevated plasma PCPIII levels in trauma patients with ALI/ARDS supports the hypothesis that lung fibrosis is triggered early in the course of ALI/ARDS.…”

“…The finding of elevated plasma PCPIII levels in trauma patients with ALI/ARDS supports the hypothesis that lung fibrosis is triggered early in the course of ALI/ARDS. However, it should be noted that increased PCPIII levels in trauma patients may also reflect wound healing, fibrosis in other organs and decreased clearance due to hepatic dysfunction 55 .…”

“…In nonsurvivors, the collagen content of the lung is increased two-to threefold after 2 weeks of ARDS and parallels the development of fibrosis [7]. Patients with ARDS dying after 7 days of respiratory failure have, in contrast to survivors, persistent elevation of extracellular matrix components (procollagen III) in the BAL and serum, indicating ongoing fibrogenesis [77,[128][129][130]. Patients with a procollagen III level greater than 1.75 U·mL -1 in BAL on day 7 had a 72% mortality rate compared with a 20% mortality rate in patients with a procollagen III level less than 1.75 U·mL -1 [131].…”

“…The combined use of three serum biomarkers of hyaluronic acid (HA) [11], which is a component of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and is primarily cleared from the bloodstream by the hepatic sinusoids, tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP-1) [12]–[16] inhibiting the activities of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and amino-terminal propeptide of procollagen type III (PIIINP) [17][20] reflecting collagen synthesis at the site of disease has recently been proposed for the detection of fibrosis. In clinical practice, serum samples were analysed for levels of HA, TIMP-1 and PIIINP.…”
