Comparison of urinary excretion of UV-absorbing constituents in healthy subjects and patients with rheumatoid arthritis using analytical isotachophoresis.
Analytical isotachophoresis has been applied to the separation of urinary constituents in healthy controls and patients with rheumatoid and osteoarthritis. Various methods of comparing isotachograms have been investigated. Significant differences have been demonstrated between the pattern of UV-absorbing components in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and healthy subjects.
