Cytokine Therapy

Cytokines are chemicals secreted by the body's immune system that control communication between cells. In some cases, cytokine levels are abnormally elevated, which can lead to diseases.

Cytokine therapy is used to correct abnormal cytokine levels. This treatment involves the administration of drugs that regulate or block the levels of cytokines secreted by the immune system.

Cytokine therapy can be used to treat diseases of the immune system. These include diseases such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), systemic sclerosis (SSc), rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and Crohn's disease.

Cytokine therapy is carried out by administering the drugs orally or by injection. The course of treatment may vary depending on the type of disease, the general condition of the patient and other factors. Treatment should be evaluated periodically to assess the course of the disease and the patient's potential for recovery.

However, it may not be suitable for all patients and your doctor will advise you on the most appropriate treatment.
