Prostanoids in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid do not predict outcome in congenital diaphragmatic hernia patients by H. Ijsselstijn, F. J. Zijlstra, J. C. De Jongste, D. Tibboel

“…We measured the concentrations of 6-keto-prostaglandin F1α (6-keto-PGF1α), thromboxane B2 (TxB2), protein, albumin, total cell count, and elastase-α1-proteinase-inhibitor complex in BAL fluid of 18 CDH patients and of 13 control subjects without PPH. We found different concentrations of prostanoids in BAL fluid of CDH patients with PPH: infants with a poor prognosis had either high levels of both 6-keto-PGF1α and TxB2 compared to controls, or high levels of 6-keto-PGF1α only. …”
