Figure 2From: Serum progranulin levels are elevated in dermatomyositis patients with acute interstitial lung disease, predicting prognosis Serum progranulin levels were elevated in dermatomyositis patients with acute/subacute interstitial pneumonia. Serum progranulin (PGRN) levels in 17 patients with dermatomyositis (DM) with acute/subacute interstitial pneumonia (A/SIP), 17 with chronic interstitial pneumonia (CIP) and 16 without interstitial lung disease (ILD) are shown, as measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The serum PGRN levels in patients with DM with A/SIP were significantly higher than in DM patients without A/SIP.Back to article page
