Clinical Relevance of the Serial Measurement of Krebs von den Lungen-6 Levels in Patients with Systemic Sclerosis-Associated Interstitial Lung Disease

Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6) levels measured at baseline have been reported as a circulating biomarker useful for the detection, evaluation of severity and assessment of risk of the progression of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). In this retrospective study...
