Rheological disorders in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis in adults

Abstract

We conducted a comparative analysis of the rheological properties of blood in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis in adults. In order to determine the rheological properties, we examined the aggregability of erythrocytes and the deformability of erythrocyte membranes in all patients using original methods. The article presents preliminary research data at the initial level. A multidisciplinary team consists of clinical rheologists, internists, rheumatologists, pediatricians, epidemiologists, health professionals, the compliance of research methods is encouraging that by the end of the project it will be possible to reveal new pathophysiological aspects of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis in adults, which will favorably affect the treatment and personififi cation of patients.
