Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6) in cerebrospinal fluid from neurosarcoidosis patients

DISCUSSION: KL-6 is a high MW protein, under physiological conditions it is unlikely to cross the blood-brain barrier. We found KL-6 in CSF from NS and not from ND and DM patients. The finding sustains the specificity of changes in KL-6 in this granulomatous disease, suggesting it as a candidate biomarker for recognition of NS.PMID:37382078 | DOI:10.36141/svdld.v40i2.12900
