NCT01886846 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 87

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

We aimed to investigate if adiponectin facilitates diagnosis of ARF by analyzing adiponectin levels in acute and convalescent periods of the acute rheumatic fever and by comparing results with that of healthy control group; also by comparatively examining levels of adiponectin in ARF cases who had different clinical findings at presentation. In addition, we aimed to investigate its role in the pathogenesis of ARF by evaluating correlations with cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 and acute phase reactants.
