Research Abstract

KL-6/MUC1 is a sensitive biomarker for interstitial pneumonias. We found KL-6/MUC1mucins with selectin ligand (designated as SLAK). SLAK was found to be significantly elevated in ARDS patients. Furthermore, SLAK was discovered to be a sensitive, specific and independent predictor for DIC complication in ARDS. Therefore, measurement of SLAK level at diagnosis may be able to predict accurately future complications of DIC in ARDS. Early intervention with anti-DIC medication such as low-molecular-weight heparin in the patients with elevated level of SLAK may improve the prognosis of ARDS, which is currently extremely poor.
