Systemic 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 کاملThe 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 کاملIs There a Correlation between New Scoring Systems and Systemic Inflammation in Stable Bronchiectasis?
Aim The present study aimed to investigate the relation between FACED and BSI scores, which were developed to measure the severity of bronchiectasis, and systemic inflammation in patients with stable bronchiectasis. Methods FACED and BSI scores of 117 patients with stable bronchiectasis were calculated. The correlations between mean scores and CRP levels, leukocyte count, and neutrophil/lymph...
متن کاملCorrelation between systemic markers of inflammation and local synovitis in knee osteoarthritis
Background: In the elderly population joint swelling, effusion and pain indicate local synovitis and the presence of inflammation. At present, no serum marker has been shown linking to knee synovitis in KOA. With regard to serum high sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) as a measure of inflammation, this study aimed to determine the association of systemic inflammation with local synovitis, as ...
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...
