  • Title: Reticuloendothelial function in rheumatoid arthritis: correlation with disease activity and circulating immune complexes.
    Author: Henderson JM, Bell DA, Harth M, Chamberlain MJ.
    Journal: J Rheumatol; 1981; 8(3):486-9. PubMed ID: 7288766.
    Abstract:
    Fourteen patients with active rheumatoid arthritis had their reticuloendothelial function tested with clearance of heat damaged radiolabeled autologous erythrocytes. Only 3 of these 14 patients had prolonged red blood cell (RBC) clearance. No correlation was found between RBC clearance and level of circulating immune complexes, disease activity or disease duration.
