The role of s100A8 protein as an inflammatory marker in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and its relation to clinical and radiological parameters

Key Points

• S100A8 protein serves as a significant inflammatory marker in rheumatoid arthritis, indicating disease severity.
• Elevated levels of S100A8 are associated with worsening clinical outcomes and joint damage in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
• Assessment using serum samples showed a correlation of S100A8 with specific clinical metrics like joint swelling and stiffness.
• This highlights the potential of S100A8 as a reliable biomarker for monitoring disease progression in rheumatoid arthritis.
