Leptin controls metabolism, energy balance and can also intensify inflammation by inducing mononuclear cell activation and proliferation. It realizes this last effect by stimulating the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukine-6 (IL-6), tumour necrosis factor α(TNF-α), interleukine-8 (IL-8). The objective of the present study was to investigate the serum levels of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-αand leptin in chronic renal failure patients
