Early control of C-reactive protein levels with non-biologic is associated with slow radiographic progression in radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, according to a recent study published in the International Journal of Rheumatic Diseases.
Predicting radiographic progression is vital for assessing the prognosis of patients with radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, and C-reactive protein (CRP) may be a valuable biomarker for this purpose. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between changes in the CRP level and spinal radiographic progression in patients with radiographic axial spondyloarthritis who were initially treated with non-biologics.
