Journal Title: Postępy Dermatologii i Alergologii - Year 2006, Vol 23, Issue 2

Abstract

The aim of this study was to asses the usefulness of soluble interleukin-6 receptor (sIL-6R) concentration in assesment of disease severity and treatment effects in systemic sclerosis (SSc) using immunosupressive agents. Seventeen patients with rapidly progressive SSc were treated with oral cyclophosphamide and prednisone for 6–60 months. The concentration of sIL-6R was measured by ELISA in the preatretment and posttreatment serum samples from the SSc patients and from 15 healthy women as controls. Pretreatment and postretment mean level of sIL-6R was significantly increased compared with normal controls, p
