Elastase in blood serum
| Elastase in blood serum |
Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]
Overview
- The presence of elastase in the blood serum is caused by serine proteinase hydrolyzing elastic occuring in the endothelial cells, macrophages, and granulocytes
| Reference Range | |
| In Plasma | 60-110 ng/ml |
| In Pleural Effusion | 480-2900 ng/ml |
Causes of increased elastase in blood serum[1][2]
Common Causes
- Acute lung injury[3]
- Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury[4]
- Chronic joint disorders
- Hemodialysis
- Multiple trauma
- Sepsis
- Shock
- Shock lung in pre-eclampsia
