Chitotriosidase activity in sarcoidosis and some other pulmonary diseases
Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation, 09/08/09

Tercelj M et al. – The results confirm that chitotriosidase activity is markedly increased in some cases of sarcoidosis. As increased activities are also found in other diseases, chitotriosidase cannot be considered a specific marker of sarcoidosis. In cases of sarcoidosis where high CTO activities are found, this enzyme could serve as a useful marker supporting the diagnosis of sarcoidosis when following the effects of treatment and in surveillance for recurrence of the disease.
