Hypertension and raised serum lipids
About 30",, of patients seen in our lipid clinic during 1976 had raised blood pressure, and many patients attending the hypertension clinic have hyperlipidaemia. This apparent association between hypertension and hyperlipidaemia could have arisen because hypertensives tend to have lipid concentrations measured more frequently than people with no risk factors for vascular disease, or might have ...

متن کاملRaised levels of anti-glucose-6-phosphate isomerase IgG in serum and synovial fluid from patients with inflammatory arthritis.
BACKGROUND In K/BxN mice, anti-glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (GPI) antibodies (Abs) are arthritogenic, and their transfer into naive mice induces arthritis. Anti-GPI Abs develop in many human patients with RA and are associated with more severe forms of the disease. OBJECTIVE To elucidate the serum and synovial fluid (SF) anti-GPI IgG profiles among different patient groups with a variety of ...
متن کاملRaised serum interleukin 15 levels in Kawasaki disease.
BACKGROUND Interleukin (IL)15 is a novel cytokine that induces T cell proliferation, B cell maturation, natural killer cell cytotoxicity, and may have a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory disease, acting upstream from tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha). Kawasaki disease (KD) is an inflammatory disease, in which serum levels of inflammatory cytokines such as TNFalpha and IL6 a...
متن کاملRaised IgG antiglobulin factors in Still's disease.
Still's disease (juvenile chronic polyarthritis) differs markedly from adult rheumatoid arthritis in the relative incidence of rheumatoid factor. The sheep cell agglutination test was found to be positive in only 11 to 13 per cent. of Still's disease patients compared with 70 to 80 per cent. of affected adults (Bywaters, Carter, and Scott, 1959; Laaksonen, 1966). Similarly, using the sensitive ...
