Comparison of Adenosine Deaminase, C-reactive Protein, Uric Acid, and Rheumatoid Arthritis Levels in Patients With...

One of the hallmarks of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is inflammation of the synovial membrane, and oxidative stress is a mediator of tissue damage. RA is characterized by persistent joint inflammation, which leads to pain, edema, and finally joint destruction. Numerous biochemical markers can cause RA because of their impact on systemic and local inflammation. Numerous biomarkers have been investigated for their potential application in the diagnosis and prognosis of RA. In this review article, we evaluate the role of RA factor or rheumatoid factor (RF), uric acid, C-reactive protein (CRP), and adenosine deaminases (ADAs) as biomarkers in patients with and without arthritis. Studies that analyze and compare the levels of uric acid, ADAs, CRP, and RF in patients with and without arthritis. Although recent research has shown higher levels of uric acid, ADA, CRP, and RA in patients with RF compared to healthy controls, these findings may indicate a role for these markers in reflecting inflammation and disease activity. In the metabolism of purines, the enzyme ADA is involved. The liver produces CRP, which is then released into the bloodstream. In inflammatory situations, there is a rise in CRP levels. This biomarker is frequently used for systemic inflammatory assessment in RA. The pathophysiology and severity of RA have both been connected to uric acid, which has historically been linked to gout. One particular biomarker for RA is RF. When compared to a healthy control group of individuals with arthritis, this review provides valuable insights into the diagnostic and prognostic use of uric acid, CRP, ADAs, and RF.
