CKD increases serum cytokine levels. Mice subjected to 5/6ths nephrectomy (CKD) or sham surgery (control-GFR) were exsanguinated 2 weeks after the final surgery. Individual serum samples were analysed in triplicate for 23 cytokines. Serum cytokine levels were plotted as means ± SE from 9 (control-GFR) or 13 (CKD) individual mice in each group. Compared with control-GFR mouse sera: *P < 0.002 (Wilcoxon test). IL-12, interleukin-12 (p40 and p70 subunits). Cytokines not plotted (see Supplementary material online) were measured at equivalent levels in CKD and control mice.
