Abstract:Objective To explore the clinical value of serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)levels in the prediction of drug-induced liver injury severity.Methods A total of 61 patients with drug-induced liver injury in Guangzhou Huadu District People′s Hospital from May 2018 to December 2019 were collected as research subjects.According to the severity of liver injury, the patients were divided into mild liver injury group (n=30), moderate liver injury group (n=24) and severe liver injury group (n=7).Another 35 cases of healthy people in the same period were selected as the normal control group.The serum levels of IL-6 and TNF-α were detected by double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results Before treatment, the levels of serum IL-6 and TNF- α in mild liver injury group, moderate liver injury group and severe liver injury group were higher than those in the normal control group, the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).With the aggravation of liver injury, the levels of serum IL-6 and TNF-α increased gradually, the differences among the groups were statistically significant (P<0.05).After 3 days of treatment, the levels of serum IL-6 and TNF-α in mild liver injury group, moderate liver injury group and severe liver injury group were lower than those before treatment, the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).After 2 weeks of treatment, the levels of IL-6, TNF-α and glutamic oxalacetic transamindse (AST) in the effective group were lower than those in the ineffective group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in patients with drug-induced liver injury were positively correlated with AST and alanine transaminase (ALT) before treatment (P<0.05).Conclusion Serum IL-6 and TNF-α can be used to predict the severity and prognosis of drug-induced liver injury,and have high clinical value.
