Circadian variation in disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis.
Disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis as measured by repeated estimation of joint pain, stiffness, articular index, and grip strength was shown to have a circadian rythm, maximal activity being seen between 0200 and 0400 and minimal activity in the early afternoon. This variation in disease activity may be related to circadian alterations in immune and inflammatory responses (such as immune ...

متن کاملCircadian variation in biochemical assessments used to monitor rheumatoid arthritis.
Circadian variation has been demonstrated in several clinical parameters used to assess disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis, but circadian variation in modern laboratory assessments has not been studied in depth. We therefore made 2-hourly measurements of plasma viscosity, C-reactive protein, total serum sulphydryl, and serum histidine on samples obtained over a 24-hour period from 6 patie...
متن کاملThe Association between Depression and vitamin D level with disease activity in patient with rheumatoid arthritis
Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic rheumatologic disease, affecting different aspects of patient life. Although several studies have reported a higher rate of depression among patients with RA, there is still controversy over the underlying risk factors and probable covariates of depression in these individuals. The present study investigated the relationship between disease a...
