Serum levels of CA15-3, KL-6 and BCA225 are positively correlated with each other in the general population.
BACKGROUND Carbohydrate antigen 15-3 (CA15-3), Kerbs von den Lungen (KL-6) and breast cancer antigen 225 (BCA225) are widely used tumor markers for breast and lung cancer respectively. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analyzed 460 Japanese volunteers for 99 items on blood examination including 27 serum tumor markers. Correlations between 27 tumor markers and the other items were statistically analyzed...
متن کاملSequential changes of KL-6 in sera of patients with interstitial pneumonia associated with polymyositis/dermatomyositis.
OBJECTIVE KL-6 is a mucin-like high molecular weight glycoprotein, which is strongly expressed on type II alveolar pneumocytes and bronchiolar epithelial cells. It has been demonstrated that the KL-6 antigen is a useful marker for estimating the activity of interstitial pneumonia. In this study, it is hypothesised that serum KL-6 is a useful marker to evaluate the activity of interstitial pneum...

15 صفحه اولDigital Clubbing Is Associated with Higher Serum KL-6 Levels and Lower Pulmonary Function in Patients with Interstitial Lung Disease
Background Although digital clubbing is a common presentation in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD), little has been reported regarding its role in assessing patients with ILD. This study evaluated patients with ILD for the presence of clubbing and investigated its association with clinical data. Methods We evaluated patients with ILD who visited the teaching hospital at which the ...
