Diagnostic and prognostic roles of peripheral blood Toll-like receptor-4 and stanniocalcin-1 genes expression in acute lung injury.

In conclusion, the peripheral blood expressions of TLR-4 and STC-1 genes were decreased in ALI patients. Both genes expressions were increased with patients' recovery. SCT-1 had higher sensitivity and specificity in ALI diagnosis. The peripheral blood expressions of SCT-1 and TLR-4 genes seem to be diagnostic and prognostic markers in ALI.
