Assessment of Interleukin-6 Levels in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis and its Correlation with Disease Severity and Mortality
IL-6 levels were found to be significantly associated with the severity of liver cirrhosis. It also correlated with the disease outcome; higher levels were found in patients who expired during the follow-up period. Thus, IL-6 may be a reliable and independent predictor of disease severity and outcome in patients with liver cirrhosis.
