Correlations between serum amyloid A, C‐reactive protein and clinical indices of patients with acutely exacerbated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Abstract

Serum levels of SAA, CRP, PCT, Fbg, IL-8, IL-6, TNF-α, and IP-10 in AECOPD patients were elevated, which may undermine pulmonary functions. SAA can be used as an effective index for AECOPD diagnosis and treatment.
