AIM: The purpose of this meta-analysis was the assessment of the serum IL-6 levels in the renal transplant recipients compared to the healthy controls. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Four databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane Library were searched up to July 2018 without language restriction. The quality of studies was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS). A continuous random-effects meta-analysis was used by RevMan 5.3 using the mean difference (MD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Also, a regression model was done by Comprehensive Meta-Analysis version 2 (CMA v2). RESULTS: Out of 615 studies identified in the databases, 15 studies included and analysed in the meta-analysis. The studies were reported from 1994 to 2018. The meta-analysis included 1035 renal transplant recipients and 682 healthy controls. The pooled MD of the serum IL-6 levels in the transplant recipients compared to the healthy controls was 3.25 pg/mL [95%CI: 2.17, 4.32; P < 0.00001; I2 = 98% (P < 0.00001)]. Meta-regression analysis showed that one of the reasons of heterogeneity is the year of publication (Correlation coefficient (r) = 0.208, p-value = 0.00002). CONCLUSION: An elevated serum IL-6 level in the renal transplant recipients compared to the healthy controls showed that the serum level of this marker could be used for the evaluation of inflammation in ESRD patients undergoing renal transplantation.
