Parameter
| Biomarker | IL-6 | Full name | interleukin-6 in synovial fluid | Molecular Type | cell factor |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Molecular Formula | Molecular Weight | Core Functional Dimensions | inflammatory activity monitoring, progression prediction | ||
| Disease | Osteoarthritis (OA) | Disease Subtypes | / | ||
| Organ | Joint (Synovium) | Test Sample / Technology Platform | Synovial fluid (ELISA, flow cytometry) | ||
| Pathobiological Mechanisms | Post-traumatic intra-articular inflammatory response activation, IL-6 promotes the inflammatory cytokine cascade, exacerbating cartilage damage | ||||
| Clinical Availability Status | In research | ||||
| Notes and Dynamics | The level of IL-6 in synovial fluid>10 pg/mL indicates active inflammation, and anti-inflammatory treatment should be intensified to delay the progression of osteoarthritis. | ||||
