- Title
Acute lung injury and alveolar epithelial function.
- Authors
Uchida, Tokujiro
- Abstract
The article focuses on the use of receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) as a biomarker for type I alveolar epithelial cell injury that resulted from acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The author cites a study on alveolar fluid clearance (AFC) by Ware et al., published in the 2001 issue of the "American Journal of Respiratory Critical Care Medicine." An overview of clinical results of RAGE in patients enrolled in the ARDS Network randomized controlled trial is presented.
