The role of inflammatory cytokines in Meigs' syndrome. Obstetrics and gynecology, 2002, Volume: 99, Issue:5 Pt 2 Inflammatory cytokines are known to induce capillary leakage and third-space fluid accumulation in numerous gynecologic and nongynecologic disorders. This study aimed to assess their role in Meigs' syndrome.. Evaluation of serum, peritoneal, and pleural fluids retrieved from a patient suffering from Meigs' syndrome revealed high interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha levels. After surgical removal of the ovarian tumor and with resolution of ascites and hydrothorax, serum levels of IL-1beta, IL-6, and IL-8 declined, whereas tumor necrosis factor-alpha levels remained high.. The correlation between these inflammatory cytokines and the clinical course of Meigs' syndrome suggests their involvement in the formation of ascites and hydrothorax in this disorder.

The role of inflammatory cytokines in Meigs' syndrome.

Obstetrics and gynecology, 2002, Volume: 99, Issue:5 Pt 2

Inflammatory cytokines are known to induce capillary leakage and third-space fluid accumulation in numerous gynecologic and nongynecologic disorders. This study aimed to assess their role in Meigs' syndrome.. Evaluation of serum, peritoneal, and pleural fluids retrieved from a patient suffering from Meigs' syndrome revealed high interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha levels. After surgical removal of the ovarian tumor and with resolution of ascites and hydrothorax, serum levels of IL-1beta, IL-6, and IL-8 declined, whereas tumor necrosis factor-alpha levels remained high.. The correlation between these inflammatory cytokines and the clinical course of Meigs' syndrome suggests their involvement in the formation of ascites and hydrothorax in this disorder.
