Serum Leucine-Rich α2-Glycoprotein as a Biomarker for Monitoring Disease Activity in Patients with Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

Figure 3

Correlations between serum LRG levels and other measures of disease activity. Serum LRG levels were compared with other serum biomarker levels in s-JIA patients. (a) CRP, (b) ferritin, (c) AST, (d) LDH, (e) IL-6, (f) IL-18, (g) sTNFRI, and (h) sTNFRII. Black boxes indicate the values in s-JIA patients. LRG: leucine-rich α2-glycoprotein; CRP: C-reactive protein; AST: aspartate aminotransferase; LDH: lactate dehydrogenase; IL: interleukin; sTNFR: soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor.
