Objectives: Determination of bone mineral density in patients with psoriatic arthritis and its correlation with the development of the disease.
Methods: Three groups of patients were recruited: group 1--patients with psoriasis arthritis; group 2--patients with rheumatoid arthritis, group 3--control group. Group 1 was divided into: group 1A--patients with disease duration < 5 years and group 1B--patients with disease duration > 5 years.
RANKL/RANK/OPG molecular complex--control factors in bone remodeling in psoriatic arthritis.
Rev Med Chir Soc Med Nat Iasi
November 2011
Aim: To investigate the blood levels of bone remodeling factors (RANKL, OPG and Bone-ALP) in psoriatic arthritis patients.
Material And Methods: Included in this study were 27 patients with psoriatic arthritis (CASPAR classification criteria) and 20 healthy subjects. The RANKL , OPG and Bone-ALP levels have been quantified by ELISA method.
Unlabelled: The aim of this study was to investigate the blood level of bone turnover markers: osteoprotegerin (OPG), bone alkaline phosphatase (Bone-ALP), and receptor activator of NF-kappa B ligand (RANKL) of patients with psoriatic arthritis.
Methods: Twenty-four patients with psoriatic arthritis (CASPAR classification criteria) and twenty healthy controls were included. The OPG, Bone-ALP and RANKL levels were quantified by using ELISA method.
