Blood biomarkers for transfusion-related lung injury in ICU patients
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks for proteins in the blood that might help doctors detect a rare lung injury caused by blood transfusions. It uses blood samples from ICU patients to compare those with and without lung problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are currently in the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You either received a red blood cell or platelet transfusion, or you have pneumonia or a type of lung injury called ARDS.
- You do not have massive bleeding.
- Your lung injury is not caused by multiple transfusions.
- Blood samples can be taken from you.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at why some people on breathing tubes develop lung damage from stomach acid getting into the lungs. It may help find better ways to prevent or treat this injury.
This study checks if certain blood tests can predict which patients with severe chest injuries will develop serious breathing problems or die. Doctors will take blood samples soon after injury to see if these markers help identify high-risk patients early.
This study looks at a blood marker (EV-TF) to see whether it helps predict pulmonary embolism—blood clots in the lungs—in people with ARDS who are in the ICU. Results may help doctors better identify who is at higher risk.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test measuring fibrinogen and albumin levels can help predict if someone with a traumatic brain injury will develop a serious lung condition called acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It may help doctors identify patients who need extra monitoring and care.
This study looks at how thick your blood is to see if it plays a role in ARDS, a severe lung injury that makes breathing very difficult. It may help doctors understand the condition better and improve future treatments.
This study looks for markers in the blood and signs of air trapped in the lung tissue of people with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It uses CT scans to understand why air leaks happen and if certain lab tests can predict them.
