Abstract
Features of diagnostics and course of anemic syndrome in rheumatoid arthritis patients Objective. To study features of anemic syndrome in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pts, to estimate influence of disease modifying anti – rheumatic drug therapy efficacy on the course of anemic syndrome. Material and methods. 62 pts with definite RA and level of hemoglobin less than 130g\l for men and less than 120g\l for women were examined. Research of hemoglobin, red cells count, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean concentration of hemoglobin (MCH), serum iron and ferritin was carried out. In a part of pts serum transferrin receptor and erythropoietin concentrations was defined. 30 pts were examined after 6 month of disease modifying therapy. Results. In 49(79 %) of the pts the anemia was an easy degree of weight, MCH decreased in 33(53 %) of the pts and 15(24 %) pts had decreased values for MCV. Deficiency of iron in 16(26%) of pts has been established at research of concentration a ferritin, sTfR and an index sTfR \log ferritin. At the dynamic research after 6 month of disease modifying therapy the authentic gain levels of hemoglobin, red cells count and serum iron significantly increased in the pts with good and satisfactory effect of therapy. Сonclusion. Definition of MCH, MCV and ferrokinetic data for assessment of iron defi- ciency in the RА pts is necessary. sTfR and sTfR\log ferritin may be study for pts with normal and increased ferritin levels. The major factor influencing on the course of anemia of chronic disease in the rheumatoid arthritis pts is the course rheumatoid arthritis, that efficacy disease modifying treatment to control.
