Application of IL-6, ESR and CRP in the diagnosis and treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm

Abstract

Objective Study of interleukin-6 (IL-6), erythrocyte sedimen-tation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) in diagnosis and treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm. Methods Between June 2014 and May 2016, we detected of abdominal aortic aneurysm in 62 cases that were diagnosed and treated at Department of Vascular Surgery, People′s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region including interleukin-6, erythrocyte sedimen-tation rate, and C-reactive protein. Results There was no significant difference between interleukin-6, erythrocyte sedimen-tation rate and C-reactive protein in the patients with and without complications. The correlation analysis results of interleukin-6, erythrocyte sedimen-tation and C-reactive protein were confirmed to have positive correlation respectively. Compared with non special types of rupture (48.0±34.2) pg/ml, interleukin-6 was higher in special types of rupture (187.6±110.4) pg/ml. Conclusions Preoperative detection of interleukin-6, erythrocyte sedimen-tation and C-reactive protein, combined with patient history and imaging examination were help for predict cause, choose better surgical approach and predict the prognosis in certain guiding significance.
