Aim : To study the correlation between C, CRP, IgM,, IgG, IgA & some clinical presentation in RA patients.
Methods : Latex agglutination test (AG) & single radial immunoassay (SRIA) were used to asses CRP, IgMJgGJgA,, C, in 74 patients with RA.
Results : IgA & IgG were significantly increased, while the mean ofC3, C4 were slightly elevated in RA patients .
Conclusion : There is correlation between IgG and IgM with joint deformity and joint swelling respectively, while C3 was showed statistically significant P < 0.01 with joint stiffness, joint swelling and Rheumatoid nodule, where as CRP was statistically significant P < 0.01withjoint swelling.
