简介
Background and objective
High‐mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a known mediator of acute lung injury through the acceleration of pro‐inflammatory –signalling. Previous studies showed that HMGB1 is increased in the lung and circulation of patients with acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (AE‐IPF). This study investigated the predictive value of circulatory HMGB1 for disease progression and prognosis of IPF in the stable phase and AE phase.
Methods
In total, 76 patients with stable IPF, 17 patients with AE‐IPF, 37 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and 74 healthy controls were included. Serum HMGB1 levels were compared among the four groups and the associations of HMGB1 levels with the onset of AE and prognosis were evaluated in patients with stable IPF. The prognostic value of HMGB1 was determined in AE‐IPF.
Results
Serum HMGB1 levels in patients with …
