Clinical and Immunological Features and Arthritic Status of Patients' Relatives with First and Second Degree of Kinship Suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis
Abstract
Pain in the joints was noted in 13 (26,5%) subjects; morning stiffness up to more than 30 minutes for 1 subject (2,0%). Tenderness and swelling in the joints were detected in 15 patients (30,6%). 20 subjects (40,8%) were positive for ACCP or MCV: increased level of ACCP was determined in 5 people (10,2%), MCV - in 19 subjects (38,8%); ACCP and MCV in 4 relatives (8,2%); CRP - in 1 patient (4.,1%), RF was negative for all subjects. In 55% of cases (n=11) a positivite immunological marker was accompanied by the presence of an articular syndrome and in 45% of cases (n=9) it was asymptomatic. MRI revealed the presence of changes in 20,4% of cases (n=10). Erosion was found in 8 of 15 patients with joint syndrome (53,3%); presence of synovitis - in 9 patients (60,0%), signs of bone edema - in 26,6% of cases (n = 4).
