... the interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-1 (IL-1) protein production and gene mRNA expression are augmented in the local renal tissue of IgMN, we performed histobiochemical and mRNA studies using an immunopathologic technique and in situ hybridization. We also studied the correlation between urinary IL-6 levels...

Background: Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a pleiotropic cytokine released after endotoxemia, trauma and organ injury. IL-6 may...

... is primarily induced by the macrophage-derived interleukin 6 (IL-6). Little information is available, however, regarding CRP and IL-6 plasma levels in pre-dialytic renal failure. Methods: Plasma CRP by a modification of the laser nephelometry technique, IL-6 and serum albumin were determined in 103 chronic pre...
