Early Identification of Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction: The Need of Biomarkers

We describe here significant studies that have highlighted potential candidates for reliable and noninvasive biomarkers of CLAD in the fields of imaging and functional monitoring, humoral immunity, cell-mediated immunity, allograft injury, airway remodeling and gene expression. Such biomarkers would improve CLAD prediction and allow differential LT management regarding CLAD risk.
