Abstract excerpt
There is evidence that dysregulation of coagulation and fibrinolysis may participate in the pathogenesis of acute lung injury (ALI) and the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Altered concentrations of several proteins of the coagulation and fibrinolytic pathways in plasma and pulmonary edema fluid from patients with acute lung injury have been related to the severity of lung injury and clinical outcomes....
