Circulating concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines in preeclampsia with varying disease severity
Plasma concentrations of IL-6 and VCAM-1, but not CRP, were increased among women with preeclampsia and end-organ complications, compared with women without end-organ complications. IL-6 and VCAM-1 could be drivers of disease in preeclampsia and potentially useful to identify women at high risk of severe disease.
