Exploration of IL-17 amount and its correlation to CRP in the patients with MHD / 中国免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

0.05).(3) IL-17 was positively correlated to CRP(r=0.460,P 0.05).Conclusion:(1) IL-17 in patients is much higher than that in normal people,and is positively correlated to CRP,the acknowledged marker of inflammation status,but not correlated to dialysis duration,suggesting that IL-17 plays a role in pathogenesis of immune anomaly and micro-inflammation in patients with ESRD and HD;(2) There is no correlation between IL-6 and IL-17,and the mechanism of IL-17 elevation in ESRD patients needs to be further investigated.
