The heterogeneity of systemic inflammation in bronchiectasis.
BACKGROUND Systemic inflammation in bronchiectasis is poorly studied in relation to aetiology and severity. We hypothesized that molecular patterns of inflammation may define particular aetiology and severity groups in bronchiectasis. METHOD We assayed blood concentrations of 31 proteins from 90 bronchiectasis patients (derivation cohort) and conducted PCA to examine relationships between the...
متن کاملSystemic markers of inflammation in stable bronchiectasis.
Patients with bronchiectasis have an active local and systemic inflammatory response during infective exacerbations. Systemic markers of inflammation were investigated during a stable phase of their illness, because continued inflammation could affect their general health and be involved in disease progression. The relationship between levels of various systemic markers of inflammation and exte...
متن کاملSystemic manifestations and comorbidities of COPD.
Increasing evidence indicates that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complex disease involving more than airflow obstruction. Airflow obstruction has profound effects on cardiac function and gas exchange with systemic consequences. In addition, as COPD results from inflammation and/or alterations in repair mechanisms, the "spill-over" of inflammatory mediators into the circulati...
متن کاملChildhood Atopic Dermatitis and Systemic Comorbidities
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is now becoming very common and is being diagnosed in a vast majority of children. AD is known to be associated with several comorbidities. The connection seems to be due to more than one reason – genomes, skin barrier dysfunction, and inflammation.
متن کاملAuthor response—vitamin D deficiency and systemic inflammation in bronchiectasis.
Dr Charles Shee raises a further possible explanation for our finding of an association between vitamin D status and disease severity in bronchiectasis, that low vitamin D status represents a negative acute phase response to acute inflammation. Our study was cross-sectional and was unable to establish whether vitamin D deficiency is a cause or consequence of bronchiectasis. Possible explanation...
