IL6 AND IRON ANALYSIS AFTER TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY

IL-6 is a cytokine produced by multiple cell types, including phagocytic mononuclear cells and endothelial cells. It exerts a proinflammatory action related to that of IL-1 and TNF, the cytokines that promote its synthesis. It primarily acts on hepatocytes, inducing them to produce acute phase reactants.The objective is to evaluate IL-6 in the postoperative period after total knee arthroplasty based on age and sex. To observe iron levels after total knee arthroplasty based on age and sex. And to assess the possible correlation between IL-6 and iron.This is a pilot, observational, descriptive study to search for new hypotheses.
