WHAT KINERET IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Kineret contains the active substance anakinra. This is a type of
cytokine (an immunosuppressive
agent) that is used to treat:
-
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
-
COVID-19 in patients who have pneumonia, need extra oxygen and are at
risk of lung failure
-
Periodic fever syndromes:
-
Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndromes (CAPS)
o
Neonatal-Onset Multisystem Inflammatory Disease (NOMID), also called
Chronic
Infantile Neurological, Cutaneous, Articular Syndrome (CINCA),
o
Muckle-Wells Syndrome (MWS),
o
Familial Cold Autoinflammatory Syndrome (FCAS)
-
Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF)
-
Still’s disease including Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
(SJIA) and Adult-Onset Still’s
Disease (AOSD)
Cytokines are proteins made by your body that co-ordinate
communication between cells and help

COVID-19 pneumonia, your body

inflammation, causing the symptoms of the disease. Normally, your body
produces a protein that
