Functional activity of phagocytic cells in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in combination with arterial hypertension: changes in the treatment process

The paper studied the effect of three different treatments for patients with rheumatoid arthritis on indicators functional activity of phagocytic cells. The study participated 89 patients with rheumatoid arthritis that were rozprydilenni into three groups depending on the type of treatment, and 20 healthy individuals. It was found that in response to microbial antigens kept functional activity of phagocytic cells in patients with minimal active rheumatoid arthritis receiving methotrexate and in patients with rheumatoid arthritis III degree of activity that received combined treatment Remikeydom and methotrexate compared with a group of patients with rheumatoid arthritis III the degree of activity treated with methotrexate alone.
