Expression and significance of serum KL-6 in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common and serious complication that occurs in the ICU. the determination of early ARDS indicators, along with timely treatment, can potentially diminish medical costs and reduce ARDS-related mortality. In this report, we evaluated the clinical significance of circulating Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6) content among patients with intra- and extrapulmonary ARDS to investigate the clinical significance of serum KL-6.

Methods

Patients who met the ARDS Berlin criteria and were hospitalized in the intensive care unit of the China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University between September 2021 and September 2022 were recruited for analysis. ARDS patients were divided into an intrapulmonary ARDS group (n=23) and an extrapulm
