Abstract:
Serum concentrations of interleukin-6 (IL-6), soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R) were determined in patients with Graves′ ophthalmopathy (GO), Graves′disease without GO (NGO) and controls. Patients with GO treated by corciosteroids were assessed by the clinical activity score (CAS). The results suggested that serum levels of both IL-6, sIL-6R and CAS could reflect the activity of GO and predict the outcome of corcicosteroid therapy.
