Disease Activity Score-28 using γGT Permits A Dual Evaluation Of Joint Activity And Cardiovascular Risk.

CONCLUSION: γGT may be considered as a marker of systemic inflammation and CV risk in RA patients. Based on these findings, we herein propose an original index, the DAS28-γGT, able to evaluate both joint disease activity and CV risk. This index will deserve further validation in prospective cohorts.
