Synopsis:

We investigated the diagnosis capability and extent of anti-RA 33 positivity and clinical characteristics in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We highlight a strong negative correlation between anti-RA 33 positivity and the quality of life. Anti-RA 33 antibodies may exert helpful effects determining prognosis in established RA patients though have poor diagnostic capability.

ABSTRACT

Objective: Autoantibodies are evident in the early stages of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and play important roles in diagnosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic capability and extent of anti-RA 33 positivity and clinical characteristics in patients with RA.

Synopsis:

We investigated obesity and insulin resistance and associated factors in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Cumulative steroid dose, the presence of obesity and disease activity were the best predictors for insulin resistance. Disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs may help to reduce insulin resistance.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate obesity and insulin resistance and associated factors in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
