Abstract:Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is estimated to become the third leading cause of death worldwide in 2030. COPD can affect the lungs and cause chronic systemic inflammation. Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) is involved in COPD and lung cancer pathogenesis. There has been the development of non-invasive methods for detecting lung disease in the last few decades, such as the examination of volatile organic compounds (VOC). This study aimed to analyze the serum LTB4 and the difference of VOCs in e… Show more
