摘要
The ascites and serum concentrations of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-I (IL-1) were determined in 21 patients with hepatic ascites and in 9 patients with malignancy-associated ascites. There was no evidence for bacterial peritonitis in any patients. All ascites samples contained high amounts of immunoreactive IL-6 [ hepatic ascites 1730 +/- 2130 pg/ml (mean +/- SD), 1160 pg/ml (median); malignant ascites 4020 +/- 1510 pg/ml (mean), 3820 pg/ml (median)] but no IL-1. The mean ascites to serum ratios of IL-6 were 96 (median 49) in patients with hepatic ascites and 587 (median 480) in patients with malignant ascites. Ascites IL-6 was biologically active as determined by the B9 cell bioassay. The results indicate that even in the absence of infection IL-6 is produced in high amounts in the peritoneal cavity of patients with hepatic or malignant ascites.
