Objective:To investigate the change and significance of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) in periheral blood of 41 healthy and 63 patients with liver cirrhosis. Methods: The serum level of TNF-αand IL-8 was analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The serum level of sICAM-1 was determined using flow cytometry. Results: Compare with normal control group
the serum level of ICAM-1
IL-8
and TNF-α showed significant difference(P<0.01)
and it also showed significant difference between decompensated liver cirrhosis and the compensated liver cirrhosis. The serum level of sICAM-1 increased gradually with the Child-Pugh grade
and it was positively correlated to IL-8.Conclusion: The results show that serum levels of IL-8
sICAM-1 and TNF-α may reflect the liver damage. Dynamic observation of Serum sICAM-1 level is helpful of estimating the state of the diseases.
