Urolithiasis 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 کاملThe Role of MicroRNAS in Ankylosing Spondylitis
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a common and genetically heterozygous inflammatory rheumatic disease characterized by new bone formation, ankylosis and inflammation of hip, sacroiliac joints and spine. Until now, there is no method for early diagnosis of AS and the effective treatment available for AS patients remain largely undefined.We searched articles indexed in PubMed (MEDLINE) database usi...
متن کاملHepatic function in ankylosing spondylitis.
Values for alkaline phosphatase and gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (GGTP) and the prevalence of their elevation was significantly higher in 35 patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) than in 35 age and sex matched controls. The abnormal enzyme levels appeared to reflect a non-specific reaction to inflammation and could thus aid in assessment of disease status.
متن کاملSomatosensory evoked potential findings in ankylosing spondylitis.
OBJECTIVE Somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) abnormalities were reported in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). This study aimed to investigate SSEP abnormalities and its relation with clinical findings in AS patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 26 patients with AS and 17 age-matched health volunteers (Control for SSEP). Median nerve SSEP findings were normal in all AS...
متن کاملRegional lung function in ankylosing spondylitis.
Xenon-133 was used to study regional pulmonary function in nine patients with chest cage rigidity due to ankylosing spondylitis. In comparison with normal subjects, the patients showed an overall diminution in lung volume and the proportion of inhaled xenon reaching the lung apices was reduced but the distribution of injected xenon was normal. The possible relationship between these findings an...
