Abstract

Serum levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6) and acute phase proteins were measured in patients who underwent surgical operation. Elevation of IL-6 preceded that of acute phase proteins, indicating that the measurement of serum IL-6 may be helpful for the early detection of an inflammatory state.
