Metabolic Consequences of Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may have metabolic disruption, which can contribute to adverse long‐term outcomes, for multiple reasons. Patients with RA appear to have a higher risk of sarcopenia, type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, and hypertension. Systemic inflammation in RA can cause a “lipid paradox,” with reduced low‐

Higher levels of high‐sensitivity CRP are associated with future development of Psoriatic Arthritis in Psoriasis: A prospective cohort study

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective We aimed to assess whether high sensitivity c‐reactive protein (hsCRP) could predict the development of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in patients with psoriasis. Methods We analyzed data from a prospective cohort of patients with psoriasis without PsA at enrollment. Participants were assessed annually by a rheumatologist for signs and symptoms of

Interleukin-7 deficiency in rheumatoid arthritis: consequences for therapy-induced lymphopenia [PDF]

, 2004
We previously demonstrated prolonged, profound CD4+ T-lymphopenia in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients following lymphocyte-depleting therapy. Poor reconstitution could result either from reduced de novo T-cell production through the thymus or from poor

The observation that certain human sera had the property of agglutinating sheep erythrocytes previously sensitized with specific antibody has been made sporadically since the turn of the century. Only in 1940, however, was this property shown to belong, in the main, to sera from patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. Because of the difficulties
