BALF endostatin in different patient groups. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) endostatin is significantly elevated in the BALF of patients with acute lung injury compared with normal and at-risk controls. Lavage was repeated where possible again at day 4 in 23 patients. Levels fell significantly from day 0 to day 4 but remained elevated compared with normal and at-risk controls. ALI = acute lung injury.
