Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) are the most frequent idiopathic interstitial pneumonias. The aim of this study was to evaluate concentrations of calgranulin B and Krebs von den Lungen 6 (KL-6) in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid of patients with IPF and idiopathic NSIP (i-NSIP) with fibrotic pattern. Thirty patients with IPF (68.73 +/- 8.63years), 30 with i-NSIP (68.33 +/- 7.45years), and healthy controls were included in the study. Calgranulin B and KL-6 both proved to be significantly higher in BAL of IPF and i-NSIP patients than in healthy controls (p75th percentile) had more advanced disease with lower values of FEV1%, FVC%, RV%, TLC%, DLCO% of predicted, distance walked in 6MWT, and BAL neutrophil percentage. Calgranulin B and KL-6 in BAL proved to be reliable biomarkers of IPF and i-NSIP and to have prognostic meaning, discriminating severe and advanced patients. The combination of the two biomarkers can facilitate the stratification of severity.
