Iron in rheumatoid arthritis.
syiNopsis Serum ferritin concentration has been compared with semi-quantitative histochemical estimates of bone marrow iron deposits in 60 anaemic patients with rheumatoid arthritis. There was considerable variation in the visual assessment of iron stores made by different observers. Serum ferritin appears to be a particularly sensitive index of iron status when stores are low. The best means o...
متن کاملBone metabolism in rheumatoid arthritis
In active RA, bone resorption is increased and bone formation is normal or reduced in comparison to healthy controls. This uncoupling of bone formation and resorption with a negative remodelling balance leads to generalized bone loss. The pathogenesis of this altered bone metabolism is multifactorial, involving non-disease-specific factors (such as age, female sex and postmenopausal status) and...
متن کاملAlbumin metabolism in rheumatoid arthritis.
It is now established that in rheumatoid arthritis changes are not confined only to the joints and the term 'rheumatoid disease' is employed to implicate the involvement of other organs and tissues. It would be helpful to have an index of the severity of the nonarticular involvement and several factors have been investigated from this point of view including the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, ...
متن کاملComparing bone mineral density in rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis
Background: Changes in patients’ bone mineral density (BMD) is one of the problems in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, which can be due to the use of corticosteroid drugs to reduce patients' symptoms or due to the aging process in patients. In this study, we decided to compare BMD in patients with psoriatic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Methods: This study as a cross-sectional descrip...
متن کاملCorticosteroid metabolism and rheumatoid arthritis.
Steroid research was begun at this Centre 6 years ago in the expectation that it would contribute to our knowledge of the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. Much has been learnt since then of the secretion and metabolism of the adrenocortical hormones in health and disease. The object of this paper is to take stock of the present position vis-a-vis rheumatoid arthritis. Why should interest h...
