Popis: The purpose of the work is to study the role and significance of the research for pro- (TNF-α, IL-23, MCP-1) and anti-inflammatory (TGF-β) blood cytokines in blood and urine in children with uropathy of the upper urinary tracts (UUUT). Material and methods . 52 children with UUUT (1 group) and also 43 children free of UUUT with the infected urinary system (2 group) were examined. The immuno-enzymic method ELISA and the corresponding test-systems were used to study the levels of cytokines in blood and urine. Results. The analysis showed a significant increase in the levels of all the studied pro- (TNF-α, MCP-1, IL-23) and anti-inflammatory (TGF-β 1) cytokines in the blood of the patients in groups 1 and 2. The levels of TNF-α and TGF-β in urine are considered as diagnostic markers of inflammation and fibrosis, including the state after reconstructive surgery, and that of MCP-1 in blood - as acute aggravation of chronic pyelonephritis. Conclusion. The TNF-α and TGF-β levels in blood of the children with congenital uropathy can be additional diagnostic and prognostic markers and also in the dynamics of the treatment with nephroprotection.
