ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate serum level of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)in patients with rheumatoid arthritis(RA).Methods:
VEGF ELISA Quantikine kit.The serum RF level was also d etermined using Beckman Array 360.Results:
The serum concen tration of VEGF was significantly higher in patients with RA than in healthy co ntrol(P<0.01).Conclusion:
It suggests that VEGF is involved in the pathog enesis of RA and that measurment of serum concentration of VEGF is noninvasive, usful method for monitoring the disease activity of RA.
