Elevated IL-6 and Autoimmune Conditions

IL-6 plays a central role in autoimmune diseases such as Ankylosing Spondylitis, Arthritis, and Lupus, driving inflammation and immune system dysregulation. In Ankylosing Spondylitis, IL-6 contributes to chronic spinal inflammation and joint stiffness, leading to pain and reduced mobility. Rheumatoid Arthritis is marked by IL-6-mediated joint inflammation and cartilage destruction, causing swelling, pain, and long-term joint damage. In Lupus, IL-6 fuels systemic inflammation and tissue damage, exacerbating symptoms across multiple organs. Modulating IL-6 activity through targeted therapies and lifestyle interventions offers a promising approach to managing these complex autoimmune conditions and reducing disease severity.
