Could really systemic inflammatory markers be predictors of COPD Progression

Author(s):
BO Basina, GV Kondrateva
Abstract:
Inflammatory biomarkers are considered by modern researchers as one of the best markers of effectiveness of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) at patients with COPD, but there are a few studies about their prediction opportunity for COPD progression. The study is devoted to study of the diagnostic value of some markers of systemic inflammation (CRP, fibrinogen, MMP-2 and -9, hyaluronic acid (HA) at patients with COPD, there role as predictors of COPD progression. It was determined that determination of dynamic levels of such marker of systemic inflammation as MMP-2, CRP, HA can be used as parameters for further evaluation of the clinical stability of patients during their long-term follow-up. Significant decreasing of inflammatory markers shows the adequacy of anti-inflammatory therapy of patients with COPD regardless of changes in lung function dynamic disorders.
