Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies in type 1 autoimmune hepatitis

Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies in ulcerative colitis, and its relation with disease activity

  Background : Ulcerative colitis an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and chronically idiopathic immune related that associates with extraintestinal manifestations such as arthritis. Despite of the highly specificity ofanti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibodies for rheumatoid arthritis, their role in IBD remains unclear . There are only a few studies on the prevalence of anti-CCP antibo...

Citrulline and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies in rheumatoid arthritis

Rheumatoid factor and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies with hepatitis B and hepatitis C infection: Review.

BACKGROUND Viruses are common and are involved in the etiology of idiopathic rheumatological diseases. Hepatitis B virus (HBV), a member of the family Hepadnaviridae and hepatitis C virus (HCV), play an important role in the undetermined etiology of arthritis. The clinical manifestations of hepatitis B and C show similarities with various diseases, such as rheumatic diseases. Anti-cyclic citrul...

Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies and paraoxonase-1 polymorphism in rheumatoid arthritis

BACKGROUND Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common chronic inflammatory joint disease, with a worldwide prevalence of 0.5% to 1%. Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (anti-CCP-2 Ab) is a marker of choice for diagnosing early and late RA. Anti-oxidant enzymes activity decreases in RA patients. Till now, the relationship between the rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-CCP-2 Ab, anti-oxida...
