Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Pediatric idiopathic pulmonary hypertension has significant morbidity and mortality. An ever expanding body of knowledge indicates the important contribution of inflammation to pathogenesis and successful treatment with glucocorticoids. Over the last several years the investigators have utilized steroids in patients with severe pulmonary hypertension as part of a treatment regimen. These basic science studies possibly identifies a biochemical etiology for the development of disease and may also be impacted by the administration of steroids. Additionally, there is a commercially available assay which tests for all of the above molecules.
