title: [Interferons and other cytokines in patients with chronic pyelonephritis].
abstract: The article considers the modern views on changes in the cytokines system in patients with chronic pyelonephritis, which is one of the most common kidney disease. In this study we summarize data obtained by different researchers who assessed the role of cytokines for the diagnosis and prognosis of chronic pyelonephritis and for the application of antibacterial and immunomodulatory therapy of this pathology. We present results, that indicate changes in the interferon system of patients with exacerbation of chronic pyelonephritis under both standard antibiotic therapy and its combination with interferon inducers.
