Determination of specificity and sensitivity of anti-RA 33 in diagnosis of early rheumatoid arthritis.
BACKGROUND Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease with uncertain etiology characterized by symmetric polyarthritis in peripheral joints. Its diagnosis is based on clinical findings and serologic tests. They are rarely conclusive in early course of the disease. So, its early diagnosis could be difficult. The present study was designed to evaluate the role of Anti -RA33; an Auto-A...
متن کاملCourse and prognosis in seropositive and seronegative rheumatoid arthritis.
Long since it have been suggested that a subpopulation of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), diagnosed with negative rheumatoid factor (RF) tests, represents a clinical entity quite distinct from that of seropositive rheumatoid arthritis. The aim of the study was to establish a scientific comparative analysis between RA seronegative and seropositive, regarding course and prognoses of the ...

متن کاملInvestigating Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio as a Predictive Marker of Disease Activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background and purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by synovitis, inflammation, and joint destruction that if not well controlled can destroy cartilage, bone, ligaments and tendons, and in some cases cause disability. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible role of the ratio of neutrophil-lymphocyte (NLR) as an inflammatory mar...
متن کاملDifferential Expression of Rheumatoid Factor-Associated Cross-Reactive Idiotypes in Iranian Seropositive and Seronegative Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
High levels of rheumatoid factors (RF) are detectable in serum of the majority of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but 5-10% of patients remain seronegative (SN). Despite clinical and genetic similarities between these two subsets of RA, it has been proposed that they may be regarded as distinct clinical entities. Methods: In the present study a panel of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) rec...
