Analysis of the cytokine profile in offspring exposed prenatally to maternal chronic inflammatory process of the genitourinary system caused by uroisolates of Proteus mirabilis and Streptococcus pyogenes

Background. Kidney diseases occupy one of the leading places in the overall structure of morbidity and are a socially significant problem due to the increase in pediatric patients. An important role in homeostasis and progression of kidney diseases is played by cytokines, which perform a number of biological functions and interact with other cells and tissues of the body. Purpose – study of the impact of experimental maternal chronic inflammatory process of the genitourinary system of bacterial etiology on the cytokine status of the offspring.
