Chronic inflammation plays an important role in the progression and outcome of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The inflammatory biomarkers interleukin-6 (IL6) and pentraxin 3 (PTX3) are enhanced in CKD patients and associated with progression of the disease and higher risk for cardiovascular events, the major cause of death in these patients.
