NONTHYROIDAL ILLNESS SYNDROME IN SEVERE CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE EXACERBATIONS IN THE ELDERLY

Introduction: Aging is often associated with decreased serum triiodothyronine levels. There is growing evidence that critical illness can cause thyroid dysfunction and nonthyroidal illness syndrome. Elderly patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbations may be more prone to thyroid function impairment. We evaluated nonthyroidal illness syndrome incidence in elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease during severe exacerbations and the possible impact on short-term prognosis

Carbohydrate Antigen-125 and N-Terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide Levels: Compared in Heart-Failure Prognostication

Carbohydrate antigen-125 (CA-125) is emerging as a prognostic biomarker of risk in heart failure. In a prospective study, we compared the prognostic values of CA-125 and amino-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in patients with stable heart failure
