AB  - AimTo evaluate SPD level in patients (pts) with COPD in comparison with healthy control and pts with Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD).Study population44 pts with stable COPD, 26 healthy people and 10 pts with IHD made the study sample.MethodsMedical history, SPD in serum by ELISA (Hycult Biotech, Netherlands), Spirometry by Masterscope (Viasis, Germany) were performed in all study population.ResultsSPD levels in groups are shown in table 1.View this table:Conclusions1. COPD patients have significantly higher serum SPD level, than healthy control and pts with IHD.2. High SPD could be considered as a COPD specific biomarker.
