Differential roles of IL-6 and adrenomedullin in early diagnosis and mortality predictions in late-onset neonatal sepsis

Emilly Henrique dos Santos, Gabriel Acca Barreira, Mariana Okay Saippa, Maria Carolina Pires Cruz, Karen Alessandra Rodrigues, Ronaldo Arkader, Thelma Suely Okay

Background: Diagnosing and predicting neonatal sepsis is challenging because of its nonspecific symptoms, lack of diagnostic criteria consensus, and absence of early, sensitive, and specific diagnostic laboratory tests.
Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic potential of adrenomedullin (ADM), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and C-reactive protein (CRP) in late-onset neonatal sepsis (LOS). Methods: We studied 53 neonates with culture-proven LOS by sampling...

Significance of Urinary Interleukin 6 Level in Mesangial Proliferative Glomerulonephritis in Children

Byeong Ho Kang, No Hyun Kim, Woo Yeong Chung, Chul Ho Kim, Soon Yong Lee

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1994;37(7):900-905. Published online July 15, 1994

By animal experiments in rat, it has been known that Interleukin-6(IL-6) is secreted from renal mesangial cells and is an autocrine growth factor for the proliferation of mesangial cells. According to these facts, several studies have been tried for its clinical usefulness by measuring their serum or urinary IL-6 in glomerulonephritis patients with mesangial proliferation. The authors measured urinary IL-6...
