Abstract
The present invention provides a method for predicting restenosis following coronary intervention by measuring human lipocalin-type prostaglandin D synthase (L-PGDS) in a body fluid sample. More particularly, this method comprises measuring the L-PGDS concentration in the sample and predicting restenosis following coronary intervention by using a change therein as an indicator.
