Comparative Measurement of Rheumatoid Factor in Serum and Synovial Fluid of Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients by ELISA and Latex-Agglutination Test
Rheumatoid factors (RF) are autoantibodies with specificity for the Fc portion of human IgG. Production of RF is a characteristic feature of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is detectable in high titer in about 90% of these patients. In this study, we measured total IgM, IgA, IgMRF and IgARF in serum and synovial fluid of 45 RA patients by ELISA and the results were compared with those obtained b...
متن کاملSerum and synovial fluid adenosine deaminase activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and reactive arthritis.
Adenosine deaminase activity was determined in paired samples of serum and synovial fluid taken from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (n = 12), reactive arthritis (n = 13), and osteoarthritis (n = 7), and the value of this investigation in the diagnosis of synovial swellings was assessed. Increased activity was found in the synovial fluid taken from patients with rheumatoid disease and reacti...
متن کاملFerritin in synovial cells in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Although the lesions of rheumatoid arthritis occur throughout the body tissues, it is the synovial membrane which shows the most constant and usually the earliest changes. The characteristic features revealed by the light microscope are proliferation of synovial lining cells, infiltration with inflammatory cells including collections of plasma cells and lymphocytes, and increased vascularity. A...
متن کاملSynovial fluid ferritin in rheumatoid arthritis: an index or cause of inflammation?
In many inflammatory disorders excess iron is found within reticuloendothelial cells. In patients with rheumatoid arthritis the synovial membrane contains an excess of iron (in the form of ferritin) concentrated within the cytoplasm and lysosomes of the type A reticuloendothelial cells.1 The concept that this iron may promote or worsen inflammation is not new. de Duve2 suggested that lysosomes ...
