Levels of Hemoglobin, ESR, Iron & TIBC in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Compared with Normal Individuals
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic multisystem disease of unknown etiology. One of the most common extraarticular features of rheumatoid arthritis is anemia. Iron plays a potential role in oxidative stress mediated injuries and pathologies eg. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In the present study, we investigated Hb%, Iron & Total iron binding capacity in RA patients. This study has been carried out 200 subjects, of which 100 subjects were control. The study found a significant decreased Hb% and significantly lower levels of serum iron &TIBC in RA patients as compared to control. The result suggested that routine dietary supplementation with multivitamins and a trace element is appropriate in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
