Background: Early lymphedema detection may reduce the symptoms and improve clinical outcomes. However, the lack of reliable serum biomarkers capable of predicting lymphedema development is a current medical problem. In this study, we investigated if serum levels of hyaluronic acid (HA) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4), two molecules involved in lymphedema development, may work as predictors of this condition.

用于早期淋巴水肿检测的新血清生物标志物的开发。

背景：早期淋巴水肿检测可以减轻症状并改善临床结果。然而，缺乏能够预测淋巴水肿发展的可靠血清生物标志物是当前的医学问题。在这项研究中，我们调查了透明质酸 (HA) 和白三烯 B4 (LTB4) 这两个参与淋巴水肿发展的分子的血清水平是否可以作为这种情况的预测因子。
