There were examined 19 patients with nontumoral disease and 13--with hepatopancreatoduodenal zone organs tumor. In nontumoral disease interleukin-6 (IL-6) was revealed in 83.3% of patients in the blood serum and in 88.9%--in ductal bile; in nontumoral impassability of biliary ducts IL-6 was revealed in the blood serum in 53.8% of patients, in ductal bile--in 87.5%. It was established, that bilirubinemia degree did not correlate with IL-6 content in the blood serum, but was directly influenced by its concentration in ductal bile.
