Natural history and Complications

Biomarkers

The functional lung capacity, pulmonary functions and mortality have been linked to some biomarkers. For example some studies showed that rapidly deteriorating lung function and higher mortality have been associated with high serum level of epithelial or macrophage-related proteins such as SP-A, SP-D, KL-6 (Krebs von den Lungen-6), CCL18 (chemokine ligand-18), and MMP-7 (matrix metalloproteinase-7) [1] [2] [3]
