ABSTRACT
Eight patients (77 joints) with polyarthritis were treated systemically with 570 MBq (15.4 mCi) of rhenium 186 ((186)Re) hydroxyethylidenediphosphonate (HEDP). Pain and disease activity were assessed monthly. In six (75%) of eight patients, a single injection of (186)Re HEDP led to an improvement in disease activity. Systemic low-dose treatment with (186)Re HEDP can reduce pain and disease activity in patients with polyarthritis.
