Abstract
Background: Interleukin 2 (IL-2) is a type of cytokine. It have essential role in proliferation and regulation of T cell. In kidney disease, IL-2 play a role in regulation of immune response. This study aims to evaluate the level of IL-2 and its relationship to the five stages of the disease. Subject and method: Ninety blood samples are taken from participant in this study and it divided into two groups, control group (30) samples and kidney disease group (60) samples. The parameters were measured include; (IL- 2, urea, creatinine), and GFR was estimated. Statistical analysis was performed for all parameters under the study. Results: The low level of IL-2 have a high significance difference in disease group as compared to control group (P=0.001), also there was a positive correlation between IL-2 and kidney disease stages. Furthermore, there were significant different in the mean serum levels of IL-2 among GFR stages. ROC curve give a good result in differentiation patients from control. Conclusion: it is possible to rely on the level of IL-2 in the blood to distinguish between the early and late stages of the disease, as it plays an important role in tracking the disease and its development.
