In the final phase, ARDS occurs due to IL-6, chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand (CXCL)8, IL-1β, and Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), chemokine (C-C motif) ligand (CCL) 2, CCL5, IFN-γ inducible protein (IP) -10, and CCL3 [46]. Here, IL6 is linked to acute respiratory distress syndrome.
