Background: There are studies indicating the relationship between interleukin 13 and
pathogenesis of nephrotic syndrome. To find this relationship, we measured serum IL13 …

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

Objective To study serum concentration and mRNA expression of interleukin-13 (IL-13) in
children with steroid-responsive nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) and the effect of …

Background. INS pathogenesis has been still unclear. Among many factors Th2-derived IL-
13 cytokine is taken into account. Objectives. Assessment of serum and urine level of IL-13 …

Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) is a chronic glomerular disease in children,
characterized by severe proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and/or presence of edema and …

SUMMARY Interleukin-13 (IL-13) is a known modulator of monocyte function, down-
regulating monocyte surface markers such as CD14 and proinflammatory cytokines. We …

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 …

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: Idiopathic Nephrotic syndrome (INS) is an immune-mediated disease in which
a number of cytokines, including IL-4 and IL-13, have been implicated in the pathogenesis …

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 …
