| Usage: | Interleukin-6 / IL-6 is a member of the cytokine family with a pivotal role in the activation & regulation of immune response. Cytokines play several important roles in the body but their significance to the immune system has been given much importance as it triggers an “inflammatory cascade” where a coordinated and sequential immune response is activated. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is a systemic inflammatory response that can be caused by infection and certain drugs. IL-6 is a key molecule in CRS and is now being used to monitor its response in COVID patients. It can be used as a predictor for patients with a higher risk of disease deterioration. High levels of cytokines induced by the Sars-CoV-2 virus require timely treatment to reduce lung damage via inflammation, thereby improving recovery rates and reducing mortality. | ||||||
