Evaluation of Serum Soluble Interleukin -2 Receptor level in Diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Background: This study aimed to assess the potential clinical utility of serum level of serum soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) as a diagnostic tool in rheumatoid arthritis disease (RA). This study investigate the association between serum sIL-2R levels with other parameters used for estimation of RA such as rheumatoid factor (RF), erythrocytes sedimentation rate (ESR), Creactive protein (CRP), and uric acid. Methods: Serum sIL-2R levels, measured by ELISA, were evaluated in 25 RA patients who have positive RF. SIL-2R values were compared with those of 25 normal controls and the correlation with the other parameters was analyzed. Results: Compared with the healthy control group, RA patients tended to have significantly higher serum sIL-2R and ESR concentrations (P<0.001). While no significant difference between both groups in serum uric acid. Positive serum CRP (CRP level>6mg/dl) were found in 58% of patients. The sIL-2R level was positively correlated with RF and ESR, while a slight positive correlation with uric acid. Serum sIL-2R showed a highly sensitivity and specificity for the patients with positive RF. Conclusions: sIL-2R levels may be useful, sensitive, and specific marker for diagnostic of RA.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic multisystem autoimmune disease common in all races and ethnics. Cytokines and cytokines receptors play an important role in RA pathogenesis and clinical presentation. Objective: To investigate the serum levels of TNF-α, TNF-α RI, TNF-α RII and IL-12 in RA patients and healthy control group. Methods: In this study 43 patients fulfilling the revi...

Background: The tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) is a cytokine that produced principally by monocyte/macrophages and T lymphocytes, respectively. TNFα is recognized as the primary mediator of immunity in inflammation reaction. One important application of Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor 2 (TNFR2) is for the treatment of autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA).<br /...

Serum concentrations of soluble interleukin 2 receptor in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: effect of second line drugs.
Serum soluble interleukin 2 receptor (sIL-2R) concentrations reflect lymphocyte activation in vivo. An investigation was carried out to determine if sIL-2R concentrations correlate with existing disease activity parameters in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and whether these concentrations are modulated by treatment with second line drugs. Seventy nine patients with rheumatoid arthritis...
