| Abstract | ||
| Objectives:To study changes in lipid profile in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to evaluate the relation between lipid profile and disease severity of RA. Design: Cross-sectional study. Patients:Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) according to 2010 ACR/EULAR classification criteria for RA (n = 150). Methods: Demographic data, arthritis history, medical and therapeutic history were evaluated. Disease activity was evaluated using DAS28 (ESR). Immunological investigations included RF, ESR, CRP, and anti-CCP.Lipid profile levels were measured. Results:Raised TG was found in 38 (25.3 %) of patients, raised TC was found in 69 (46 %) of patients and decreased HDL-C was detected in 85 (56.7 %) of the patients | ||
