[The influence of inflammatory process on the ventilatory impairment in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease].
Journal Title: Advances in Respiratory Medicine - Year 2010, Vol 78, Issue 4
Abstract
At present, COPD is known to be a systemic disease resulting from generalized inflammation which affects the function of many organs. Generalized inflammation is recognized from increased serum concentration of inflammatory cytokines. The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of inflammatory process on the respiratory impairment in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
