ESTIMATION OF IL-17, TNF LEVELS AND ANTIOXIDANT STATUS IN RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS PATIENTS IN KIRKUK CITY
Keywords:
Rheumatoid arthritis; IL‑17; TNF‑α; Oxidative stress; Anti‑CCP.Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is chronic autoimmune disease characterized by joint inflammation and oxidative stress. Thus, this study focused to determine the Interleukin-17 (IL-17), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide (anti-CCP) levels and antioxidant status in RA patients and to find their correlations.
