Plasma and peritoneal fluid cytokine profiles in patient with Essure ® implant: Towards a molecular signature?

CONCLUSIONS: The chemokine MCP-1 as well as the pro-inflammatory TNF-α, are known to be increased in patients with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Since patients with Essure® may exhibit symptoms similar to fibromyalgia, MCP-1 and TNF-α may be relevant markers in symptomatic patients with Essure®. Because of the lack of longitudinal data (no evaluation of postoperative cytokine profile and no assessment of the level of clinical improvement), other studies are needed to confirm these preliminary results.PMID:38537321 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2024.03.031
