Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate if CTHRC1 protein levels in plasma could serve as a blood-based biomarker for diagnosing rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and monitoring disease activity.
- CTHRC1 levels were found to be significantly higher in RA patients compared to those with osteoarthritis, reactive arthritis, and healthy individuals, indicating its potential as a diagnostic tool.
- Additionally, CTHRC1 levels correlated positively with other RA indicators like rheumatoid factor, C-reactive protein, and various cytokines, suggesting it could help differentiate RA from other types of arthritis.
