Serum KL-6 as predictive and prognostic marker of interstitial lung disease in childhood connective tissue diseases: a pilot study

This study was aimed to evaluate serum KL-6 levels to determine if this marker can be used for diagnosing and assessing severity of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in children with connective tissue disorders. In total, 40 patients [18 patients with juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE), 10...
