C-Reactive Protein in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid is Associated With Markers of Airway Inflammation After Lung Transplantation

Abstract Background C-reactive protein (CRP), an acute-phase marker of systemic inflammation, may also be a local regulator of the pulmonary immune system. Its role in lung transplantation (LT), however, is unclear. We hypothesized that CRP in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid might be associated w...
