Elevated Serum Interleukin-8 Level as a Preferable Biomarker for Identifying Uncontrolled Asthma and Glucocorticosteroid Responsiveness.
Tanaffos(2017)
Abstract
The increase in serum IL-8 level can be used as a preferable biomarker to identify asthma status and initial treatment in asthmatics. The change in IL-8 level also reflects the response to glucocorticosteroids in uncontrolled asthma. These exploratory results suggest an association between the pathophysiology, inflammation, and clinical outcomes of asthma. This raises the possibility of developing new agents for IL-8 inhibition and helps provide more precise and personalized asthma care.
