title: [Clinical value of determining beta-glucuronidase and glycosaminoglycans in blood cells and biological fluids in patients with rheumatoid arthritis].
abstract: Patients with proved rheumatoid arthritis (RA) demonstrated changes in the activity of beta-glucuronidase and the concentration of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) in the blood formed elements and biological fluids showing correlation with peculiarities of the RA course. The content of beta-glucuronidase and GAG in biological fluids well reflected the activity of an inflammatory process. Significant differences in the level of beta-glucuronidase and GAG in blood cells of patients with the articular type of RA and systemic manifestations of disease were revealed.
