High interleukin 8 is often the result of inflammation.
Local inflammation will stimulate the activation of local macrophages, which can secrete a series of chemokines such as interleukin 8, causing more inflammatory cells to gather at the site of inflammation and expanding the inflammatory response. When the local inflammatory response is controlled, a series of inflammatory factors such as interleukin 8 will drop to normal.
The more interleukin 8 is elevated during inflammation, the more severe the inflammation, and changes in interleukin 8 can be measured to determine the effectiveness of inflammation treatment.
In addition to interleukin 8, there are many other cytokines involved in the inflammatory response, such as interleukin 1, interleukin 6, tumor necrosis factor, etc. can be used as a monitoring indicator.
When high interleukin 8 is present, it is recommended to seek medical attention for further examination and treatment.
