Serum Heme Oxygenase-1 Measurement is Useful for Evaluating Disease Activity and Outcomes in Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Acute Exacerbation of Interstitial Lung Disease
Abstract:Background: Oxidative stress plays an important role in acute lung injury, which is associated with the development and progression of acute respiratory failure. Here, we investigated whether the degree of oxidative stress as indicated by serum heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is clinically useful for the patients with acute lung injury including ARDS and AE-ILDs.Methods: Serum HO-1 levels of newly diagnosed or untreated ARDS and AE-ILD patients were measured at diagnosis. Relationships between serum HO-1 and other cli… Show more
