Comparison of serum KL-6 concentration the FVC >50% group and the FVC <50% group. FVC >50% group n=210, FVC<50% group n=122, an independent sample t-test was performed. KL-6 concentrations were significantly higher in the FVC% <50% group compared to FVC% >50% group, P=0.03. FVC, forced vital capacity. KL-6, Klebs von den Lungen-6.
