serum interleukin 6

IL-6 is a 26KD polypeptide with a wide range of biological effects, including 1 regulation of B cell growth and differentiation. 2 enhance the killing effect of CTL and NK cells. 3 stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells. 4 promote the synthesis of acute phase proteins in hepatocytes, etc., all systems of the human body have IL-6 secreting cells, therefore, IL-6 plays an important role in maintaining the physiological balance of the body. A large number of experimental data have shown that abnormalities of IL-6 in the body are associated with various diseases. Basic Information Specialist classification: inspection classification: immune examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: fasting Tips: Do not eat too greasy, high-protein foods the day before the blood draw, avoid heavy drinking. The alcohol content in the blood directly affects the test results. Fasting for 12 hours before taking blood, taking fresh blood for examination. Normal value (1) ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) 0.373 ~ 0.463 ng / L; (2) Tetramethylazozolium blue colorimetric method <5 U/ml. Clinical significance Abnormal results: elevated: seen in multiple myeloma, psoriasis. People who need to be tested: people with silvery white scales, thin film, and spotted bleeding. High results may be diseases: multiple myeloma, psoriatic arthritis, psoriasis, multiple myeloma nephropathy precautions Before inspection: 1, do not eat too greasy, high-protein food the day before the blood, to avoid heavy drinking. The alcohol content in the blood directly affects the test results. 2. Fasting for 12 hours before taking blood, taking fresh blood for inspection. When checking: When you draw blood, you should relax your mind, avoid the contraction of blood vessels caused by fear, and increase the difficulty of blood collection. After inspection: 1. After blood is drawn, local compression is required at the pinhole for 3-5 minutes to stop bleeding. Note: Do not rub, so as not to cause subcutaneous hematoma. 2, the pressing time should be sufficient. There is a difference in clotting time for each person, and some people need a little longer to clotting. Therefore, when the surface of the skin appears to be bleeding, the compression is stopped immediately, and the blood may be infiltrated into the skin due to incomplete hemostasis. Therefore, the compression time is longer to completely stop bleeding. If there is a tendency to bleed, the compression time should be extended. 3, after the blood draw symptoms of fainting such as: dizziness, vertigo, fatigue, etc. should immediately lie down, drink a small amount of syrup, and then undergo a physical examination after the symptoms are relieved. 4. If there is localized congestion, use a warm towel after 24 hours to promote absorption. Inspection process The blood of the subject was collected and detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay or tetramethylazozolium blue colorimetric assay. Not suitable for the crowd Not suitable for the crowd: no. Adverse reactions and risks 1. Symptoms of fainting may occur after blood draw: dizziness, vertigo, fatigue, etc. should be immediately supine, drink a small amount of syrup, and then undergo a physical examination after the symptoms are relieved. 2. If there is localized congestion, use a warm towel after 24 hours to promote absorption.
