Aim: The aim of our study is to evaluate the relation between serum adropin levels in acute pulmonary embolism patients.
Materials and Methods: Patients examined with PE pre-diagnosis, didn't have exclusion criteria and had certain diagnosis with Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography were included as PE group and the same number of participants and comorbidities similar to the PE group, the control group was selected among patients again referring to the emergency department who were not considered to have PE diagnosis with their clinical symptom and risk scorings.
Results: Serum adropin levels were found rather high in PE group. Although adropin values found high in the presence of all comorbidity conditions, adropin values were measured significantly high only in patients who had hypertension (HT), acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and previous PE. Adropin values were also quite different according to Well's Scoring groupings. Mean adropin levels were found significantly different among PE and controlgroups.
Conclusion: Plasma adropin levels were found significantly high in acute PE patients in our study and had high positive predictivity, sensitivity and specificity.
