does the hydrocortisone stop the cytokine storm ?

Hydrocortisone is a glucocorticoid and works as an anti-inflammatory and by immune suppression.

No one knows. The best they can do, is to gather statistical evidence. A patient is treated with statistics. The method can be used to an advantage, without knowledge.

Hello,

Hydrocortisone can help mitigate the cytokine storm to some extent by reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune response. However, its effectiveness in stopping the cytokine storm completely may vary depending on the specific circumstances and underlying conditions of the individual.

Individual human chemistry is always the determinant in the efficacy of a particular chemical or physical process designed or concocted for human employment.

The 'Cytokine Storm' is a complex issue, as different challenges can trigger it, and some ethiology therapy is usually good for diseases.
Some Cytokines, as IL-6, are both markers and mediators in the Cytokine Storm, for which some specific therapies exist, as Monoclonal Antibodies.
Is there a suitable animal model for Cytokine Storm?
