Acute lung disease is a frequent cause of admission in pediatric intensive care units with at least 30% requiring invasive mechanical ventilation (MV)[1]. Disruption of the alveolar-capillary barrier and subsequent increased permeability results from the acute lung disease itself and/or MV. This leads to protein leakage and spillover of inflammatory mediators from and to the pulmonary and systemic circulations. Circulating biomarkers among adult patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) have been extensively studied, but the number of pediatric studies is limited. Pediatric intensivists frequently extrapolate adult data to pediatrics but there are significant differences in incidence, etiology, and outcome of acute lung disease in children, primarily related to developmental changes in the lungs and immune system [2–4]. Nevertheless, circulating biomarkers in children, as in adults, have the potential to identify patients at risk of poor outcomes, to improve our understanding of the pathobiology, and eventually to help to develop more targeted therapies. We present a concise review of “what’s new” in plasma or serum biomarkers of acute lung disease in children, with a focus on clinical utility and need for future work in this area. These biomarkers can be classified in a pathophysiological approach.
