Brief Summary
The goal of this case control study is to detect serum isthmin-1 level in RA patient compered to healthy control . The main questions it aims to answer are: what is the serum isthmin-1 level in RA patient? what is the correlation between serum isthmin-1 and RA disease activity? what is the correlation between serum isthmin-1 level and MSUS finding in RA patients?
