Overview
Laboratory Findings
Plasma PLA2 (phospholipase A2), nitrate/nitrite, methylguanidine, TNF-α (tumour necrosis factor-α), IL-1β (interleukin-1β) and IL-10 (interleukin-10) were significantly elevated
The recovery of fat from pulmonary artery (PA) catheter wedged blood, sputum and urine is nonspecific. One study found fat in 50% of sera from patients with long bone fractures who had no evidence of FES. Bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) seem to be more specific by demonstrating fat droplets in alveolar macrophages.
