Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how depression affects rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and examines the levels of specific immune cell subsets and cytokines in patients with RA, both with and without depression.
- It includes a sample of 53 RA patients, 46 with comorbid depression, and 51 healthy subjects, finding that nearly half of the RA patients also have depression, and noting higher IL-6 levels in those with depression.
- The results indicate that IL-6 could be a key marker for the severity of RA in patients with depression, suggesting that inflammation and psychological health are closely linked, which points to the need for more research on how these factors interact.
