An Update on Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarkers of Early Rheumatoid Arthritis
Diagnostické a prognostické biomarkery časné revmatoidní artritidy
Revmatoidní artritida (RA) je chronické systémové zánětlivé onemocnění, které vede k nevratnému destruktivnímu postižení kloubů. Kritéria americké revmatologické společnosti pro diagnózu RA nejsou příliš senzitivní pro velmi časný začátek onemocnění. Postrádají zejména prognostický význam pro riziko rychlé progrese kloubního postižení a hodnocení efektu léčby. V současné době je proto intenzivně zkoumána řada biologických markerů, které by měly tyto nedostatky nahradit. V tomto přehledovém článku je s ohledem na patofyziologickou podstatu RA diskutován význam parametrů imunitního systému, zánětlivé aktivity, destrukce kloubu a některé genetické faktory. Závěrem je shrnuto využití některých markerů v klinické praxi.
Klíčová slova:
revmatoidní artritida, biomarkery, zánět kloubu, destrukce kloubu.

Overview
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic, inflammatory disease that leads to inevitable joint destruction. The revised American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria for the diagnosis of RA are not sensitive enough for classification of the very early onset of the disease. They lack the predictive value for identifying patients at high risk of rapid joint damage and for assessing the efficacy of treatment. To improve the situation, several new biomarkers are currently studied to help to achieve this goal. Respecting the pathophysilogy of RA, several markers reflecting immune response, inflammation, joint destruction, and genetic factors are discussed in this review. Finally, the potential use of several markers in the clinical practice is depicted.
Key words:
rheumatoid arthritis, joint biomarkers, inflammation, joint destruction.
