Impact of interleukin-6 and interleukin-10 serum level and its mRNA expression level on polytrauma patients

Host response to polytrauma occasionally has unpredictable outcomes. Immune response is a major factor influencing patient's outcome. This study evaluated the interaction of two main cytokines in immune response after major trauma, specifically interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in which their serum level comes from the mRNA expression of these cytokine genes and outcome of polytrauma patients.
