A practical test and its value in rheumatoid arthritis.

K Balci, F Erdogan, S Bayrak

    Indian Journal of Medical Sciences
    |February 1, 1989
    PubMed
    Summary

    A new practical test effectively identifies disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), showing positive results in 97% of cases. This test becomes negative when the disease is inactive, aiding in treatment evaluation.

    Area of Science:

    • Clinical diagnostics
    • Rheumatology

    Background:

    • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by joint inflammation.
    • Accurate assessment of disease activity is crucial for effective management and treatment of RA.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a novel practical test for distinguishing pathological conditions from a healthy state.
    • To determine the utility of this test in assessing disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

    Main Methods:

    • A preliminary study was conducted to assess the performance of a new practical test.
    • The test's positivity rate was compared against established biomarkers such as rheumatoid factor (RF), C-reactive protein (CRP), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) in RA patients.

    Main Results:

    • The novel test demonstrated high positivity (97%) in rheumatoid arthritis cases.
    • Compared to RF (57%), CRP (83%), and ESR (93%), the new test showed a higher detection rate for active RA.
    • The test converted to negative upon remission of disease activity.

    Conclusions:

    • This practical test shows significant promise for identifying active rheumatoid arthritis.
    • It may serve as a valuable tool for monitoring disease activity and guiding treatment decisions in RA patients.
