Clinical Significance of Cold-Inducible RNA-Binding Protein in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
This study successfully validated that serum cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRBP) level was an independent predictor of 1-year disease progression and all-cause mortality in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). CIRBP is a promising biomarker that can help identify high-risk patients with IPF, especially in the early stage.
