Abstract
Pro-inflammatory cytokines such as leptin and IL-6 play an important role in the development of cardiovascular risk. Determine the relationship between leptin and IL-6 concentrations with cardiovascular risk in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. We determined IL-6 and leptin levels in 77 patients with the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. The cardiovascular risk was calculated using the modified Framingham scale. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 22 considering a significant p < 0.05. Serum leptin concentrations and cardiovascular risk (CVR) factors were compared and found that there was a significant difference between higher leptin values and disease activity (p 0.047), obesity (p 0.038), positive rheumatoid factor (p 0.009), tobacco (p 0.009), and metabolic syndrome (p 0.001). Likewise, a significant relationship was found between lower leptin concentrations and hydroxychloroquine consumption (p = 0.023). We found significant difference between IL-6 concentrations and disease activity (p 0.028), hypertriglyceridemia (p 0.023), LDL-C (p 0.029), and smoking (0.005). Similarly, an association between hydroxychloroquine consumption and low concentrations of IL-6 was found (p 0.005). Framingham CVR was calculated an...Continue Reading
