Tumor necrosis factor alpha and high sensitivity C-reactive protein in diagnosis of exudative pleural effusion
BACKGROUND Differentiation between exudative and transudative pleural effusions is the initial step in assessment of pleural effusion. The aim of this study was to determine whether high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) are diagnostic utilities for exudative pleural effusion. METHODS This experimental study assessed 79 patients with pleural effusion wh...
متن کاملTumor necrosis factor alpha-308 gene polymorphism and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma
PURPOSE To investigate the possible association between tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha)-308 G/A polymorphism and pseudoexfoliation (PEX) glaucoma. METHODS One hundred and ten Turkish PEX glaucoma patients and 110 healthy control subjects were enrolled in the study. All participants underwent a complete ophthalmic examination. TNF-alpha-308 was genotyped by polymerase chain reaction an...
متن کاملC-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha levels in overweight and healthy adults.
This study aimed to 1) compare levels of high sensitivity c-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) between overweight Thais and apparently healthy controls, and 2) investigate the association between serum hs-CRP, IL-6, and TNF-alpha levels and other biochemical parameters. A total of 180 health-conscious adults aged 25-60 years, who resided...
متن کاملEvaluation of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Polymorphism Frequencies in Endometriosis
Background The pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), is a pathogenic element for a number of disorders. Previous studies have reported that the -1031 T/C and -238 G/A polymorphisms in the promoter region of the TNF-α gene are important factors in reproductive-related disorders. One of the most common gynecological diseases of women during the reproductive years is endo...
متن کاملAssociation of C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interleukin-6 with chronic kidney disease
BACKGROUND We studied the association of inflammatory biomarkers including C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) with chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS We conducted a case-control study among 201 CKD patients and 201 community-based controls in the greater New Orleans area. CKD was defined as estimated-glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60...
