Cytokines in alcoholic liver cirrhosis
Acta Gastroenterol Belg.
1994 May-Aug.
Abstract
Interest for cytokines involvement in experimental and human liver injury has considerably increased over recent years. The present paper reviews the current knowledge in the field of alcoholic cirrhosis. The role of interleukin-1, tumor necrosis factor, interleukin-6, interleukin-8 and interleukin-10 are discussed together with their possible diagnostic and prognostic significance. Prospects for future investigations such as immunotherapy are underlined.
