ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To examine the relationship between disease activity and vaspin, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and apolipoprotein levels in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA).BACKGROUND:
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory arthritis, which is related with psoriasis. Adipokines are the mediators which play a role in metabolic homeostasis and inflammatory conditions.METHODS:
The levels of vaspin, NGAL, apolipoproteins and their correlations with disease activity were compared in 50 psoriatic arthritis patients and 36 healthy controls.RESULTS:
The levels of vaspin, NGAL and apolipoprotein B/A1 ratio were significantly higher in the patient group (p 0.05).CONCLUSION:
This is the first study to have compared vaspin and NGAL levels in patients with PsA. Vaspin and NGAL can be used as a biomarker in PsA. Vaspin, NGAL and dyslipoproteinemia are not correlated with disease activity (Tab. 3, Ref. 63).Palavras-chave
