title: Pulmonary endothelial cell injury and altered lung metabolic function. Early detection of the adult respiratory distress syndrome and possible functional significance.
abstract: Markers of endothelial cell damage or dysfunction may be sensitive probes for the detection of the earliest phases of acute lung injury and may be a guide to the severity of injury or response to therapy as well. Depressed lung metabolic function may contribute to the intrapulmonary or systemic pathophysiology of ARDS.
