Possible early rheumatoid arthritis biomarkers
Describes Biomarkers (increased TC,
LDL-C, nonHDL-C and triglyceride serum levels and reduction in HDL-C levels) that may be used to diagnose RA
(Georgiadis, 2006)
Urine
Kang et al. 2014
Using urine gives higher predictive power for disease activity than conventional serum analysis. Levels of urinary soluble CD14 were abundant in patients with RA and used as new biomarkers.
Elucidation of the pathogenic mechanisms that initiate andperpetuate rheumatoid arthritis offers the promise of progress in each of thesedomains.
(McInnes 2011)
Sustained remission is rarely achieved and requires ongoing pharmacologic therapy
(McInnes 2011)
Reliable predictive biomarkers of prognosis, therapeutic response, and toxicity are lacking
(McInnes 2011)
Molecular remission and the capacity to reestablish immunologic tolerance remain elusive.

Criteria clearly allows earlier diagnosis of RA, although the clinical picture is slightly different on the group level. RA may be falsely diagnosed in some patients with self-limiting disease.

In cases of extreme pain, patients can opt for surgical intervention that will prevent further impairment and decrease pain.
Synovectomy, Arthrodesis, Arthroplasty
Biologics are designed to inhibit certain components of the immune system, such as those that are responsible for inflammation. They are one of the only treatment options that slow the progression of RA.
Actemra,Cimzia,Enbrel,Humira,Kineret, Orencia, Remicade, Rituxan, Simponi
Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (DMARDs) improve symptoms and can change the course of the disease and can improve radiographic outcomes.
Methotrexate, Hydroxychloroquine,Sulfasalazine, Leflunomide, Tumor Necrosis Factor Inhibitor, T Cell Costimulatory Blocking Agents, B cell depleting agents, Interleukin-1 (IL-1) Receptor Antagonist Therapy, Intramuscular Gold
Corticosteroids have both anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory activity. They can be administered orally, IM, IV and are useful in early stages of the disease.
Prednisone, Methylprenisolone, Medrol
Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs reduce acute infection, decrease pain, and improve function. They do not however, change the course of the disease.

Cost of diagnosis and laboratory tests
ESR, RF test and X rays- These lab tests cost $25- $30 each on an average. Multiple tests need to be conducted, hence COI (Cost of Illness) rises in the long run.
