[The effect of Tauredon on the development of non-specific indicators of inflammatory activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis].
The objective of this research has been to determine the effects of the gold salts Tauredon Byk Gulden on the development of non-specific parameters with regard to the inflammatory processes in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The group being tested comprised 8 men and 35 women with a positive diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, their average age being 50, the average disease course 9.5 years. During a six-month continuous application of Tauredon, the following parameters were observed in regular intervals: the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, the haemoglobin level in the serum and the C-reactive protein. The statistical processing of data indicated that Tauredon significantly reduces the erythrocyte sedimentation, considerably increases the haemoglobin level in the serum and significantly decreases the C-reactive protein value.
