The problem of chronickidney disease is one of the urgent problems in nephrology. There is data on the multifaceted participation of cytokines in the development and prognosis of pathological conditions. The recent studies are focusedon the mechanismsoflocal inflammation with the analysis of interleukins level in the urine. Cytokines are mediators between nonspecific defense reactions and specificimmunity. Being synthesized in the focus of inflammation, cytokines influence almost all cells involvedin inflammation. In case of local defense failure, cytokines enterthe circulation and act at the systemic level, developing an acutephaseresponse in the body. The review presents data on the cytokine status in chronic kidney disease in children and its rolein the progression oft he disease. The authors emphasize the scientific and practical significance of studies of the cytokine status in chronic kidney diseases.
