Increased serum VDBP as a risk predictor for steroid resistance in asthma patients
Asthmatic symptoms usually can be controlled with corticosteroids, but partly asthmatic patients do not respond to corticosteroids, steroid resistance (SR) play a significant role in the poorly responding. However, no approach can accurately predict steroid responsiveness in asthma patients, so prediction of SR with noninvasive means has become a critical issue.
