Interleukin 6 Detection Reagent(IL-6) Suggestions For Clinical
Application
Overview of IL-6
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a multifunctional inflammatory cytokine. It
is a key component of inflammatory mediator network and plays an
important role in inflammatory response. The increase of IL-6 level
can be used as an early indicator of inflammatory response and can
be used to evaluate the severity of systemic inflammatory response
syndrome.
Performance index of IL-6
Detection range | sample size | Sample type | Test time |
2~4000pg/mL | 60μl | Whole blood / serum / plasma | 15min |
Clinical significance of IL-6
- Sensitive indexes for early diagnosis of acute infection
- The increase was positively correlated with the severity of the
disease
- It can better reflect the prognosis of infected patients
- Early "warning" markers sensitive to sepsis
Content of IL-6 | Clinical application suggestion |
<7 pg/mL | normal |
7-150 pg/mL | This means mild inflammation or infection |
150-250pg/mL | It suggests systemic bacterial infection or systemic inflammatory
response |
>250pg/mL | It could be sepsis |
Major Function of IL-6
- Stimulate liver cells to synthesize acute proteins and participate
in inflammatory reactions;
- Promote the development of blood cells;
- It promotes bone differentiation and calcification of bone-forming
cells in human aortic valve matrix cells.
