Objective: The aim: To study the peculiarities of bone mineral density in the Ukrainian population of women of different reproductive age with systemic lupus erythematosus and to evaluate its connection with traditional and specific (typical for systemic lupus erythematosus) risk factors.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: A total of 91 women with systemic lupus erythematosus and 29 healthy individuals were examined. Along with the clinical study of the activity and severity of the disease, the serum levels of interleukin-6 were determined by the enzyme immunoassay.
Objective: The aim: Was to evaluate the effect of 6-month pathogenetic treatment in combination with atorvastatinum on the endothelium function, lipid and adipokine levels, paroxonase activity and activity of inflammatory process in RA patients.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The study included 55 patients with RA, dividing into two groups depending on the intended therapy. The first group included 33 patients with "traditional" treatment by methotrexate, glucocorticoids, and non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs.
Objective: The aim: To assess the level of hepcidin in patients with AS, to determine its connection to the disease and various forms of anemia.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: 118 patients with ankylosing spondylitis were examined and hematological, biochemical, immunologic indicators of the general parameters of hematopoiesis and ferrokinetics, plasma levels of CRP, IL-6 and hepcidin were determined.
Results: Results: It was found that high levels of hepcidin are found in 25% of patients with AS, 50% are limiting and only 25% are optimal.
Objective: The aim: To estimate the prevalence of anemia in patients with ankylosing spondylitis, major pathogenetic variants and their relationship with the activity of the inflammatoryprocess and the severity of the disease.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: 118 patients with ankylosing spondylitis participated in the study, which performed hematologic, biochemical, immunological studies with general haemopoiesis and ferrokinetics parameters, plasma levels of CRP and IL-6.
Results: Results: It was found that in Ukrainian population of patients with ankylosing spondylitis, 28.
