Higher AGT levels in serum and urine in children with renal cysts may indicate the activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, including its intrarenal part, even before the onset of hypertension. Lower serum concentration of IL-18 in children with kidney cysts may indicate the loss of the protective role of this cytokine with the occurrence of hypertension.
