Ankylosing spondylitis, IgA, and transforming growth factors.
This hypothesis article reviews laboratory findings in seronegative arthritides with a view to discovering which cvtokines are likely to be most important in their pathogenesis. It concludes that transforming growth factors may play a significant role, and suggests that they derive from a group of T cells which have recently been rather neglected by academic immunologists. Ankylosing spondyliti...
متن کاملUrolithiasis in ankylosing spondylitis: Correlation with Bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index (BASDAI), Bath ankylosing spondylitis functional index (BASFI) and Bath ankylosing spondylitis metrology index (BASMI)
Background: Increased incidence of renal stone has been reported in ankylosing spondylitis (AS), but unlike some well-known renal involvements, they have not been fully studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of AS with urolithiasis and also the relation between urinary stone and severity markers. Methods: One hundred-sixty three AS patients were included in a cross-s...
متن کاملIgA-a1 antitrypsin complexes in ankylosing spondylitis
A study of 95 serum samples from 61 patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) showed that 21 patients (34%) had raised levels of IgA-al antitrypsin complexes. These were associated with active disease as measured by a clinical index and also with erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C reactive protein, and serum IgA. In particular, an association was noted between 'extraspinal' manifestations of AS ...
متن کاملIgA serum levels and disease activity in ankylosing spondylitis.
We investigated the possible association between serum IgA, IgM, and IgG and disease activity in a longitudinal study of 48 weeks' duration in 38 male patients with active ankylosing spondylitis receiving regular treatment with either phenylbutazone or diflunisal. Throughout the study serum IgA levels correlated most frequently with chest expansion and lumbar flexion index, and patients with ex...
متن کاملSecretory IgA: immune defence pattern in ankylosing spondylitis and klebsiella.
Saliva secretory IgA (sIgA), secretory component (SC); serum immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, IgM), complement (C3, C4), C-reactive protein (CRP), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were performed in 32 patients with ankylosing spondylitis and 29 normal controls. They were investigated for carriage in the faeces of Klebsiella spp. on 3 occasions over the previous months. Throat swabs and urine ...
