CLINICAL EFFICACY OF STATINS IN PATIENTS WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

Abstract

Inclusion in the complex therapy of patients with RA statins contributes to a significant reduction in total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and positively affects the activity of the process, reducing the levels of acute phase proteins. Additional indications for the purpose of statins have high activity process and late onset. The use of statins in RA, given their lipid-lowering and anti-inflammatory effects, may be an effective means for the successful prevention of cardiovascular complications.
