Abstract: Objective To determine serum anti-carbonic anhydrase Ⅱ and Ⅲ auto-antibodies, the level of antioxidants and cytokines in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) by established methods, and to evaluate primarily the clinical significance. Methods The serum anti-carbonic anhydrase Ⅱ and Ⅲ auto-antibodies, erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR), the levels of 5 kinds of cytokines [like interleukin 2 (IL-2)] and 5 kinds of antioxidants [like superoxide dismutase (SOD)] from 58 patients with CHF in recent 3 months to 1 year were determined.Results The level of serum anti-carbonic anhydrase Ⅱ auto-antibody in CHF patients was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05). The levels of SOD, glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase (CAT) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in CHF patients were significantly lower than those in control group (P<0.05), while methanedicarboxylic aldehyde (MDA) level was significantly higher than that in control group(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance on the levels of interleukin (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) between CHF patients and control group (P>0.05), while IL-2 and interleukin 17(IL-17) levels were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05). Conclusions There may be autoimmune phenomenon in CHF patients. IL-2, IL-17 and antioxidant capacity may be used as the markers for the diagnosis of anti-carbonic anhydrase Ⅱ auto-antibody.
