Umbilical Artery Leucine‐Rich α‐2 Glycoprotein as a Predictor of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia in Preterm Infants
UA-LRG may serve as a biomarker for predicting BPD and identify infants who are at a higher risk of BPD and could benefit more from corticosteroids or other therapies. UA-LRG's superior predictive accuracy over UV-LRG is attributable to the fact that cytokines in the amniotic fluid might cause fetal inflammation in utero before the development of histologically chorioamnionitis.
