Role of blood Krebs von Lungen-6 in predicting acute exacerbation in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Our data suggest that the trend in changes in KL-6 values may be utilized as a tool for predicting AE-IPF. Further research is needed to establish the clinical significance of changes in KL-6 for predicting AE-IPF and to validate the cut-off values for prediction.
