The Biological Context of C-Reactive Protein as a Prognostic Marker in Renal Cell Carcinoma: Studies on the Acute Phase Cytokine Profile
Aarstad, Helene Hersvik; Gudbrandsdottir, Gigja; Hjelle, Karin; Bostad, Leif; Bruserud, Øystein; Tvedt, Tor Henrik Anderson; Beisland, Christian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)High serum levels of the acute phase protein C-reactive protein (CRP) are associated with an adverse prognosis in renal cancer. The acute phase reaction is cytokine-driven and includes a wide range of inflammatory mediators. ... -

Jones, Patrick; Hjelle, Karin Margrethe; Mohn, Jannike; Gudbrandsdottir, Gigja; Roth, I; Chaudhry, Adeel Asghar; Bergesen, Anne Kvåle; Beisland, Christian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Bladder pain syndrome (BPS) is a complex condition, which can have debilitating sequelae for patients. Many elements of BPS remain poorly understood including pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment. Navigating patient ... -
The levels of IL-6 and soluble IL-33R are increased in the renal vein during surgery for clear cell renal cell carcinoma
Gudbrandsdottir, Gigja; Aarstad, Helene Hersvik; Hjelle, Karin Margrethe; Førde, Kristina; Reisæter, Lars Anders Rokne; Bostad, Leif; Aarstad, Hans Jørgen; Beisland, Christian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Purpose The main aim was to map serum levels of IL-1/IL-6 family cytokines and relevant receptors from serum samples taken across treatment in patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC). Additionally, we explored the possible ... -
