Clin Exp Pediatr. 1997;40(12):1701-1706.   Published online December 15, 1997
Purpose : It has been reported that patients with nephrotic syndrome have high serum IgE value and IL-4 involve in IgE synthesis, IL-6 is an autocrine growth factor for the proliferation of mesangial cells. We studied association between serum cytokines and of nephrotic syndrome. Methods : We measured serum IL-6, IL-4, IFN-Υ, CD23 in 14 children with nephrotic syndrome and 3 healthy children by...
