Diabetic nephropathy is a common complication of diabetes mellitus with a negative prognostic value.
Currently, there are no doubts that infl ammation has a pathogenic role not only in the development of diabetic kidney disease but in the formation of all of the characteristics of cardiorenal anemia syndrome. The aim of the study was to assess the clinical signifi cance of interleukin-6 evaluation in patients with diabetic nephropathy. We investigated 127 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with chronic kidney disease stages 1–3. Th e results of the study indicate that serum concentration The study was supported by the President Grant for Government Support of Young Russian Scientists of interleukin-6 correlates negatively with hemoglobin level and estimated glomerular fi ltration rate. Meanwhile, it has no clear relationship with age, sex, treatment modality, body mass index, urinary albumin excretion and echocardiography data. In this paper we discuss the causes and the eff ects of elevated interleukin-6 production in patients with diabetic nephropathy. Further avenues of research are proposed. Refs 25. Figs 1. Table 2.
