Dynamic changes of serum matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors in Kawasaki disease: implications for coronary artery lesions persistence
MMPs and TIMPs have dynamic changes in children with CALs caused by KD. A low level of TIMP-1 after treatment may be related to CALs persistence, offering novel insights into the underlying mechanism.
