Surfactant protein A predicts survival in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

The purpose of this study was to determine if the measurement of surfactant protein A (SP-A) in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid predicts survival in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We performed BAL on 44 patients with IPF and 33 healthy volunteers. SP-A and total phospholipid (...
