Clinical Trial: Role of Sphingolipids in Pulmonary Edema
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Observational
Official Title: Role of Sphingolipids in Pulmonary Edema
Brief Summary: In this mono-center prospective study, the impact of changes in the sphingolipid metabolism in patients with pulmonary edema will be investigated.
Detailed Summary:
There will be three groups of patients:
- hydrostatic pulmonary edema
- toxic pulmonary edema
- not ventilated patients without any pulmonary edema
Samples of a routine bronchoalveolar lavage and EDTA-blood will be analysed in respect of sphingolipids, ceramide, sphingomyelin-phosphodiesterase and several cytokines.
