Elevated Leptin Plasma Levels Tied to Acute Exacerbation of Idiopathic PF
Recent research suggested that the hormone leptin is a potentially promising plasma biomarker of acute exacerbation (AE) and predictor of survival in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). This is the first report associating leptin levels with IPF or AE-IPF, and could hold great potential to improve disease monitoring. The study…
