Evaluation of interleukin 6 (il-6) levels among Iraqi rheumatoid arthritis patients

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is complex autoimmune system disease and significant impact on the health of population in our world. Numerous studies confirmed that genetic factors play a crucial role pathogenesis RA. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) common pro-inflammatory cytokine with various functions different pathophysiologic systems, especially development The (IL-6)is affected by common, functionally important polymorphisms. Serum levels were higher rheumatoid subjects than nonrheumatoid subjects. may be potential biomarker concentrations sera measured "enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)" technique using Human-Interleukin-6(Bioassay Technology Laboratory). results present study demonstrate highly differences. aim this to evaluate serum IL-6 among Iraqi RA patients. IL-6levels patients controls (126.6436± 30.63222), (119.0229 ± 54.50154), P= 0.899. It noteworthy current males females when comparing male female (181.7823±117.92967versus 110.4356±34.83798), 0.558.We conclude there correlation between high arthritis.
