Serum ferritin levels as a indicator of disease activity in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus

Abstract

Thirty-six patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were staged with regard to clinical and immunological criteria. Anti-DNA, ANA and serum ferritin concentrations were studied in both remission and activation patients groups. Serum ferritin concentrations were found to be significantiy high in the active stage of the disease; while it was normal in remission. İncrease in serum ferritin was compatible with the anti-DNA levels and positive ANA titrage. There occured significant difference (p<0.001) in serum ferritin values between the active and remission stages, Conclusively it can be suggested that serum ferritin level was a useful guide in evaluation of activation and remission states of SLE and in determination of optimal treatment.
