In recent years, experimental studies have emphasized that specific pulmonary bioindicators considered to be secreted from deteriorated lung tissue, such as surfactant protein A (SP-A), surfactant protein D (SP-D), Krebs von den Lungren-6 (KL-6), and Clara cell protein (CC-16), are effective in determining lung deterioration severity (29-31).
