Recombinant human ACE2: acing out angiotensin II in ARDS therapy

Authors: Haibo Zhang, Andrew Baker

Published in: Critical Care | Issue 1/2017

Excerpt

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a devastating inflammatory lung disorder that is frequently associated with multiple organ dysfunction leading to high mortality. The mechanisms underlying ARDS are multi-factorial, and are thought to include the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) [1, 2]. …
