Interleukin 6 CRP Rapid Test Kit Acute Infection Diagnosing Clinical Significance
Overview of IL-6
Leukocyte interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a versatile inflammatory cytokine. It is a key component of the inflammatory media network and plays an important role in the inflammatory response. Increased levels of IL-6 can be used as an early indicator of inflammatory response and can be used to assess the severity of inflammatory response syndrome throughout the body.
Clinical significance of IL-6
- Sensitive indicators for early diagnosis of acute infection
- This increase is positively correlated with the severity of the disease
- Better reflect the prognosis of infected patients
- Early "early warning" markers sensitive to sepsis
Content of IL-6 | Clinical application suggestion |
<7 pg/mL | normal |
7-150 pg/mL | This means mild inflammation or infection |
150-250pg/mL | Suggests a whole body bacterial infection or a systemic inflammatory response |
>250pg/mL | It could be sepsis |
Major Function of IL-6
- Stimulate liver cells to synthesize acute protein and participate in inflammatory reaction;
- Promote the development of blood cells;
- It promotes bone differentiation and calcification of bone forming cells in human aortic valve stromal cells.
