ADM and dermatomyositis: The adrenomedullin mRNA levels in DM-ILD were positively correlated with serum ferritin (r =0.507, p =0.002), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (r =0.350, p =0.045), and lung visual analog scale (VAS) (r=0.392, p=0.021) and were negatively correlated with pulmonary function test parameters, including predicted forced vital capacity (FVC)% (r = −0.523, p = 0.025), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1)% (r = -0.539, p = 0.020), and diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide (DLco)% (r = -0.495, p = 0.036).
