Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common preventable and treatable disease characterized by progressive airflow limitation and associated with enhanced chronic inflammatory response of the airways to a variety of noxious stimuli. The current concept of COPD, however, extends beyond the respiratory system to include a variety of extrapulmonary manifestations which includes raised inflammatory markers.
Methods: This was a single, center observational open-labeled case-controlled study which included fifty patients of diagnosed COPD and 50 age- and gender-matched controls.
