Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an increasing cause of global morbidity and mortality, with poor long-term outcomes and chronic disability. COPD is a condition with a wide spectrum of clinical presentations, with different phenotypes being identified even among patients with comparable degrees of airflow limitation. Considering the burden of COPD in terms of social and economic costs, in recent years growing attention has been given to the need for more personalized approaches and patienttailored rehabilitation programs. In this regard, the systematic analysis of metabolites in biological matrices, namely metabolomics, may become an essential tool in phenotyping diseases. Through the identification and quantification of the small molecules produced during biological processes, metabolomic profiling of biological samples has thus been proposed as an opportunity to identify novel biomarkers of disease outcome and treatment response. Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) and plasma/serum are fluid pools, which can be easily extracted and analyzed. In this review, we discuss the potential clinical applications of the metabolomic profiling of EBC and plasma/serum in COPD.
Keywords: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, metabolomics, disability, biomarkers, rehabilitation, outcome, chronic disease.
