Elevated plasma levels of Krebs von den Lungen-6 and geographic appearance on high-resolution computed tomography are associated with diffuse alveolar damage in autopsy cases of acute respiratory distress syndrome: a retrospective study

Elevated plasma levels of Krebs von den Lungen-6 and geographic appearance on high-resolution computed tomography are associated with diffuse alveolar damage in autopsy cases of acute respiratory distress syndrome: a retrospective study

Abstract Background Although diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) is a histopathological hallmark of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), its detection without lung biopsy is challenging. In patients with ARDS, the specificity of the Berlin definition to diagnose DAD as a reference standard is not a...
