Concentrations of IL-36 family cytokines in the peripheral blood of 77 patients with AR. The data tested did not exhibit a normal distribution and were, therefore, described using the median and IQR. In patients with AR, the peripheral blood IL-36α concentration was highest, with a median of 6.71 × 103 pg/mL (IQR: 5.12 × 103, 9.46 × 103); the IL-36β concentration was lowest, with a median of 87.86 pg/mL (IQR: 71.92, 99.41); the IL-36γ concentration was 332.79 pg/mL (IQR: 251.43, 387.65); the IL-36Ra concentration was 3.47 × 103 pg/mL (IQR: 2.96 × 103, 4.40 × 103); and the IL-38 concentration was 316.18 pg/mL (IQR: 217.77, 455.62).
