Evaluation of serum pyridinoline cross-linked carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type Ⅰ collagen and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody for the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis / 中国实用内科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of serum pyridinoline cross-linked carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type Ⅰ collagen(ⅠCTP),anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide(CCP)antibody,rheumatoid factor(RF)and C-reative protein(CRP)detection to the diagnosis and disease monitor of rheumatoid arthritis.Methods Serum ⅠCTP and anti-CCP antibody were measured by ELISA,RF and CRP by immunonephelometry assay in 57 patients with RA and 25 with non-RA as well as 30 normal controls.Results Serum ⅠCTP concentration was positively correlated with that of anti-CCP antibody,RF and CRP(rs=0.474,0.366,0.645,P0.05).Serum ⅠCTP in the patients with active RA was significantly higher than in those with stable RA and normal controls(P0.05).The combined sensitivity of RF and anti-CCP antibody was 87.5%.Conclusion Serum ⅠCTP is a sensitive serum marker to monitor the early damage of arthrosis.Missed diagnosis rate of RA is reduced by detecting anti-CCP antibody and RF together.Combinational monitoring the variance of serum ⅠCTP,anti-CCP antibody,RF and CRP could effectively monitor the disease development in time,which exhibits great sense on impede arthrosis damage.
