Abstract
Described are compositions and methods for diagnosing acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry (MRM-MS) was used to quantify the amount of protein biomarkers in plasma samples from human subjects. The amount of the biomarkers in the sample can distinguish AECOPD from a stable or convalescent state of COPD, or from a subject without COPD.
