Abstract:
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic chronic inflammatory disease of unclear pathogenesis that is manifested by a progressive and destructive poly-arthritis. The early diagnosis of RA is critical to determine the severity of the disease, which may have an impact on improving the prognosis and life quality of patients with RA. A variety of autoantibodies and protein biomarkers have been reported in the serum of RA patients. Herein will be reviewed updates in the field of serum autoantibodies and biomarkers of RA, as well as their application in diagnosis, prognosis, and potential future directions for study.
