Moreover, plasma and urinary IL6 concentrations correlated with proteinuria in acute Hantavirus-induced nephritis (Mäkelä et al., 2004) and increased IL6 plasma levels and a TH17 profile have already been described in glomerular diseases such as membranous nephropathy (Cremoni et al., 2020). Here, IL6 is linked to membranous glomerulonephritis.
