Abstract
The level of increased IL6 may be considered as a predictor of joint damage on ultrasound of patients with primary osteoarthritis. Study methods: Cross - sectional descriptive study with 26 patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis according to ACR1991 standards at the Department of Rheumatology, E Hospital. The collected research information included: clinical (age, sex, ailment duration), subclinical (Protein C reactive - CRP, IL - 6) and knee ultrasound characteristics including cartilage thickness and condition of the synovial fluid. IL - 6 is considered to be increased when > 7 pg/ml. Research results: 26 patients (45 knee joints) were selected for the study. The average age of the research group was 64.1 ± 11.4, of which the most co mmon age group was 60 - 69 with female representing 88.5%. The main range of condition is 1 - 5 years, accounting for 50.0% and > 5 years, accounting for 46.2%. Ultrasound revealed joint cartilage thickness ( mm) LLC was 1.95 ± 0.46; LCN was 1.91 ± 0.51 and LCT was 1.85 ± 0.51. 30/45 patients had thickened synovial fluid accounting for 66.7% and 30/45 patients had synovial fluid accounting for 66.7%. The results showed a relationship between the synovial fluid thickness of knee, CRP index and IL - 6 concentration (p < 0.05). In conclusion, we had determined a relationship between plasma concentrations of IL6 with synovial fluid thickness on ultrasound and CRP levels in patients with primary osteoarthritis.
