Increased serum concentrations of FFA, bilirubin, and carboxylmethyl-propyl-furanpropionic acid, accumulating in chronic renal failure in direct relationship with serum creatinine, have all been impli cated in the pathogenesis of the low T-3 syndrome during illness. Cytokines may also be involved in the sick euthyroid syndrome. In contrast to interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha, IL-6 is usually detectable in serum during illness and acts as a systemic hormone. We studied the association between serum T-3 and IL-6 in consecutive hospital admissions with a wide variety of medical conditions. Patients were divided into group A (T-3, greater than or equal to 1.30 nmol/L; T-4, greater than or equal to 75 nmol/L; n = 41), group B (T-3,
