Abstract:
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is worldwide a significant representative of morbidity and mortality statistics. COPD is a preventable and treatable disease and smoking is the main risk factor of disease development. Prevention is crucial, but it has its limitations, so risk estimation and early non-invasive diagnostics are essential to decrease COPD mortality. Although diagnostic techniques are evolving, the perfect screening tool is lacking. Discovery of properly sensitive and specific biomarkers is important. They could be effective diagnostic, differential diagnostic, phenotyping and prognostic tools to clinicians. The manuscript is focusing on recently discovered potential protein and glycan biomarkers for COPD. Orv Hetil. 2020; 161(4): 123-128.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Smoking is a primary risk factor for COPD, with over 80% of patients having a history of it. Patients typically experience progressive dyspnea or labored breathing, frequent coughing, and recurrent pulmonary infections. Many eventually succumb to respiratory failure, characterized by...

COPD: Pathogenesis and Clinical Features
The primary cause for the onset of COPD is cigarette smoking and exposure to air pollution. These hazardous factors initiate a chain reaction within the lungs, resulting in chronic inflammation, damage to the airways, and a...
