Conditions
Summary
The aim of this study is to investigate the underlying inflammatory profile in patients with chronic lung disease and determine the association pulmonary hypertension.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria2
- Patients undergoing lung transplant with COPD or IPF, with associated PH
- Signed informed consent
Exclusion Criteria2
- patients without written informed consent
- Signs of any infection such as pneumonia, pulmonary tuberculosis or infections with pleural effusions.
Interventions
Blood collection via venipuncture into citrate- or ethylenediaminetetraacetic (EDTA)-containing vacutainer tubes and into serum tubes.
