Abstract
IL-6 synthesized by various types of cells and has multiple biological functions. In the kidney, IL-6 is synthesized by mesangial cells and acts as an autocrine growth factor. IL-6 was demonstrated in the glomerular mesangium and in the urine of patients with proliferative glomerulonephritis, suggesting that it has an important role in the pathogenesis of renal glomerular diseases.
