The Examination of Rheumatoid Factor and Other Serum Markers in Rheumatoid Arthritis

YAKUGAKU ZASSHI, 2005
Rheumatoid factor (IgM-RF) has been widely used to diagnose rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in clinical practice. We investigated the RA diagnostic performances of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (anti-CCP), matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), anti-agalactosyl IgG antibody (CA*RF), and anti-calpastatin antibody (ACA) in comparison with IgM-RF ...

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...
