Association of serum lipids with autoantibodies and inflammatory markers in rheumatoid arthritis patients

ConclusionThe concentrations of HDLC, TG and LDLC were associated with the concentration of anti-CCP, RF, CRP and ESR in RA patients. Therefore, clinical diagnosis of RA and determination of disease activity should consider the impact of the concentration of serum lipids in order to make a reasonable judgment on the diagnosis of the disease.
