Background: Enhanced platelet reactivity may play a significant role in the hypercoagulable
state of nephrotic syndrome (NS). Thrombocytosis with platelet aggregation cause the …

Results sIL-17 and uIL-17 concentrations (51.66+/-8.38 pg/mg and 56.29+/-14.24 pg/mg
creatinine (cr), respectively) were significantly higher (p< 0.001) in group I compared with …

Background: Several cytokines have a pathological association with idiopathic steroid‐
sensitive nephrotic syndrome (ISSNS) in inducing proteinuria or regulating T cells. Because …

Abstract Background/Aims: Interleukin (IL)-18, a member of the IL-1 cytokine superfamily, is
recognized as an important regulator of immune responses. The aim of our study was to …

Abstract Interleukin-11 (IL-11) is a multifunctional cytokine with both thrombopoietic and anti-
inflammatory effects. In an animal study IL-11 was shown to reduce proteinuria in mice with …

Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (NS) is probably caused by abnormalities in T-lymphocyte
function. The presence of several immunological abnormalities in these patients supports …

The current hypothesis for the pathogenesis of childhood idiopathic nephrotic syndrome
(INS) favors the involvement of a T cell-mediated immune response. Various cytokines …

Interleukin‐6 plays an important role in host defense mechanisms and it appears to be a
major mediator of the acute‐phase response. IL‐6 is also an important thrombocytopoietic …

Thrombocytopenia is common in sick neonates, and affected neonates have adverse
outcomes compared with those without thrombocytopenia. As impaired platelet production …

Introduction: In this study, we aimed to detect the cytokine that is involved in the early stage
of chronic kidney disease and associated with cardiovascular disease. Methods: We …
