Soluble Complement Receptor Type 1 Inhibited the Systemic Organ Injury Caused by Acid Instillation into a Lung

Abstract

The results suggest that the complement system plays an important role in the pathogenesis of the injury of the contralateral lung and of the small intestine after unilateral instillation of acid to the lung. Further investigation is warranted to determine the clinical utility of antiinflammatory agents in acid-induced lung injury.
