β-glucuronidase Activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis
Published Online: Jul 24, 2015
Abstract
In ostroarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, β-glucuronidase activity was measured in body fluid to diagnose this special disease entities.
The β-glucuronidase activity was studied in the urine, serum and joint fluid. The level of this specimens were estimated by statistical sections.
1) The β-glucuronidase activity in urine, serum and joint fluid of osteoarthritis patients were 0.09U/l urine, 0.14U/l serum, 0.06U/l joint fluid. The highest level of activity was in the serum.
2) The β-glucuronidase activity on rheumatoid arthritis was 0.19U/l urine, 0.17U/l serum, 0.07U/l joint fluid. The highest increased level of activity was in the urine.
3) In the joint fluid and serum, there is the no mean of stistical analysis. But in the urine, there is marked meaning of statistical analysis(Male : p=0.0041, Female : p=0.0001).
