Interleukin 6: A Friend or Foe in Diabetic Nephropathy
Lower serum IL-6 levels in T1D patients are linked to delayed onset of kidney damage. The pro-inflammatory role of IL-6 may contribute to the development of DN in T1D patients, as indicated by its association with albuminuria and renal function markers. Further research is warranted to explore IL-6 as a potential therapeutic target in diabetic nephropathy.
