Glycoprotein YKL-40 Levels in Plasma Are Associated with Fibrotic Changes on HRCT in Asbestos-Exposed Subjects

Figure 1

Plasma YKL-40 concentrations in subjects with asbestosis (), asbestos-exposed subjects who did not develop lung fibrosis (), and healthy controls (). Medians and interquartile ranges (IQR) of the three groups are shown. One-way ANOVA with least significant difference (LSD) posttest was used. ns: not significant.
