  • Title: [The diagnostic significance of mucoproteins, sialic acid and cortisol in assessing the activity of rheumatic diseases].
    Author: Paul R, Rotzsch W.
    Journal: Z Gesamte Inn Med; 1989 Jul 15; 44(14):410-3. PubMed ID: 2815886.
    Abstract:
    1. Our investigations have confirmed the great importance of mucoproteins, sialinic acid, C-reactive protein, and the sedimentation of blood for the analysis of the inflammable process activity in case of rheumatoid arthritis. 2. The interpretation of the electrophoresis indicated that the usual demand for electrophoresis in case of rheumatic patients at the time as a matter of principle was not very sensible, but it should only be demanded for means of rheumatic fever or of increased sialinic acid levels. 3. Our investigations demonstrate significantly increased rates of total protein for rheumatic patients compared to a normal control group. 4. Rheumatic patients also point at a much higher percentage of pathological cortisol levels in consideration of the interaction by hormone therapy (prednisolone) in comparison with normal patients.
