Serum Surfactant Protein-D as Predictor of Disease Severity in Hospitalized COPD Patients

Several studies support the use of SP-D as a marker of systemic inflammation and lung tissue damage in COPD.Measuring serum SP-D could provide a valuable tool for early detection, monitoring progression, and personalizing management of COPD patients.Surfactant protein D (SP D) as a prognostic biomarker needs further studies to validate its clinical applicability
