Mechanisms of Acute Lung Injury

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 1983
The role of the complement system in generating an acute inflammatory response in the lung, manifested particularly by the presence of neutrophils, and the role of these neutrophils in altering lung microvascular permeability are examined. Although it is not possible at this time to reconcile all the experimental data so as to provide a unifying ...

Acute lung injury (ALI) is acute pulmonary inflammation with underlying pathology of disruption of the pulmonary vasculature endothelial and alveolar epithelial barriers. ALI is not an uncommon diagnosis and has a myriad of causes including pulmonary infection, (including sepsis), drugs, connective tissue disease, and polytrauma.

Microparticles and acute lung injury

American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology, 2012
The pathophysiology of acute lung injury (ALI) and its most severe form, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), is characterized by increased vascular and epithelial permeability, hypercoagulation and hypofibrinolysis, inflammation, and immune modulation.
