Plasma and urinary levels of beta2 microglobulin in rheumatoid arthritis.
Plasma and urinary levels of beta2 microglobulin have been investigated in 21 patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Despite a normal renal glomerular function in all patients 50% of them had supranormal plasma beta2 microglobulin levels and 30% had a higher than normal urinary output of beta2 microglobulin generally related to the high plasma level. Plasma beta2 microglobulin level...
متن کاملbeta 2-Microglobulin levels in serum and urine of rheumatoid arthritis patients on gold therapy.
The levels of beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2-m) in serum and urine of 24 seropositive patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treated with regular gold (sodium aurothiomalate) injections have been investigated. The values obtained were compared with levels from 20 seropositive patients with RA treated only with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and 20 age and sex matched normal controls who ha...
متن کاملSERUM IgE AND BETA 2 MICROGLOBULIN LEVELS AFTER MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
Serum IgE and beta 2 microglobulin levels were determined in 31 patients suffering from acute myocardial infarction and 30 patients with other forms of ischemic heart disease. The levels of these parameters were studied on the first, third and seventh day after the onset of disease. The immunological method used for the determinations was ELISA Patients with myocardial infarction showed an...
متن کاملThe effect of membrane biocompatibility on plasma beta 2-microglobulin levels in chronic hemodialysis patients.
Several studies have shown that patients who have been dialyzed with high-flux biocompatible membranes have a lower plasma level of beta 2-microglobulin and a lower incidence of amyloid disease compared with patients who have been dialyzed with low-flux bioincompatible membranes. However, because high-flux membranes are associated with significant dialytic removal of beta 2-microglobulin, the s...
متن کاملInvestigation of the plasma levels of CCL-17 and CCL-25 and their receptor gene expression in rheumatoid arthritis patients
Background and Aim: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. The chemokines and their related receptors have a pivotal role in migration and homing of leukocyte involved in the pathogenesis of RA. The goal of this study was to measure the plasma levels of CCL-17 and CCL-25 and their receptors gene (CCR4 and CCR9) expression in rheumatoid arthritis pa...
