Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is chronic inflammation leading to irreversible airway obstruction. Previous studies showed increased metalloproteinases (MMP) level, especially MMP-9, as a sign of local inflammation. Up-to-date, only a few studies estimated the MMP-9 serum concentration in COPD with respect to correlation with systemic inflammation. The aim of the present study was...

Exhaled Nitric Oxide as a Biomarker in COPD and Related Comorbidities

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is defined as a disease characterized by persistent, progressive airflow limitation. Recent studies have underlined that COPD is correlated to many systemic manifestations, probably due to an underlying pattern of systemic inflammation. In COPD fractional exhaled Nitric Oxide (FeNO) levels are related to smoking habits and disease severity, showing a...
