In this study, we decided to compare BMD in patients with psoriatic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Methods: This study as a cross-sectional descrip...
متن کاملRenal disease in rheumatoid arthritis.
N-Acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) is a sensitive indicator of renal damage. When the urinary NAG levels of 60 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were measured a highly significant difference was detected between the mean urinary NAG excretion of the patients with RA (341 +/- 294-92 nmol h-1 mg creatinine-1) and that of 60 matched controls (67-53 +/- 16-93 nmol h-1 mg creatinine-1). In ...

There is an elevated basal metabolic rate (BMR), negative nitrogen balance, a fall in the cholesterol level of the hypothyroid subject, and an accelerated fractional disappearance rate of labeled thyroxine from the circulation. Paradoxically...
