Abstract:
Asthma is a chronic airway inflammatory disease.Detection and evaluation of airway inflammation has important clinical significance in asthma diagnosis and severity judgement.It is also important to select drugs,dosage,and withdrawal time for patients whose symptoms have been controlled.So,it is necessary to find the technology which can response to airway inflammation to guide the asthma diagnosis and therapy.At present,many inflammatory biomarkers have been researched including exhaled nitric oxide,leukotrienes,exhaled breath condensate determination,Periosrin,YKL-40 etc.This review summarizes the biological characteristics and clinical application of inflammatory markers in asthma.
