Soluble Lectin-like Oxidized Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor 1 Predicts the Changes of Rheumatoid Factor Titers in Rheumatoid Arthritis

The aim of this longitudinal study was to examine the clinical significance of soluble lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor 1 (sLOX-1) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.We gathered demographic and clinical data for a large rheumatoid arthritis cohort at 3 time points. Blood samples were collected at each time point; the number of samples was 282 cases in 2012, 431 cases in 2013, and 500 cases in 2014. Plasma sLOX-1 was...
