Serum YKL-40, a potential new marker of disease activity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
BACKGROUND YKL-40 is secreted by macrophages and neutrophils and is a growth factor for vascular endothelial cells and fibroblasts. Elevated serum concentrations of YKL-40 are found in patients with diseases characterized by inflammation or ongoing fibrosis. The aim of this study was to seek association between serum YKL-40 in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn disease (CD) and cli...
متن کاملSerum prolactin in coeliac disease: a marker for disease activity.
Prolactin, a polypeptide hormone of anterior pituitary origin, has pronounced physiological effects on growth, reproduction, and osmoregulation. Increasing evidence indicates that prolactin also has an immunomodulatory influence on the immune system. The status of prolactin in patients with coeliac disease was investigated by obtaining serum samples from 48 patients with active and non-active c...
متن کاملSerum alanine aminotransferase elevations correlate with serum creatine phosphokinase levels in myositis.
in all cases as a combined calcium and vitamin D formulation (Table 1). Subjects recruited from primary care were more likely to receive a coprescription for vitamin D, even though subjects recruited from secondary care were older, had more comorbidity, and had higher rates of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency. A small number of subjects were taking self-prescribed multivitamin or cod live...
متن کاملSerum copper: a marker of disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis.
Serum copper concentrations were measured in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), osteoarthritis (OA), and in healthy controls. Median serum copper concentrations were raised significantly in RA and AS, but not in OA. Serum copper in RA correlated significantly with a number of disease activity markers--for example erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactiv...
متن کاملSerum neopterin as an objective marker of psoriatic disease activity.
Neopterin is a non-specific marker of the activation of cell-mediated immunity. Several studies have demonstrated the crucial role of CD4+ T cells in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. We have measured serum and urine neopterin levels and urine neopterin/creatinine ratios by radioimmunoassay in 24 patients with plaque-type psoriasis before and after a course of topical treatment with triamcinolone ...
