   Rationale: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways in which many cells and cellular elements play a role. Assessment of airway remodelling by analysis of blood and sputum markers has been developed as non-invasive procedures to bypass tissue biopsy. Aim of the work: evaluate the usefulness of estimation of serum TGF-β1, as non- invasive markers of airway remodelling in patients with bronchial asthma and correlation between its level and degree of asthma control, severity and duration. Patients and Methods: the study included 68 asthmatics and 20 controls. They were classified according to level of control, severity and duration. Blood samples were taken to estimate the serum levels of TGF-β1. Results: the serum level of TGF-β1 was significantly higher in .. View More»
