THE ROLE OF PRO-INFLAMMATORY AND ANTI-INFLAMMATORY CYTOKINES IN DAMAGE TO RENAL TUBULOINTERSTITI STRUCTURES

Аннотация

The studies determined the level of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory interleukins cytokines in urine and also in blood serum. At the same time, an increase in the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines was observed in patients with chronic pyelonephritis. One of the non-invasive methods for detecting the activity of inflammatory processes occurring in the kidneys is changes in cytokine levels in the urine, which can be considered an important diagnostic indicator that reveals the severity of the inflammatory process.
