超声评估类风湿关节炎疾病活动性的研究进展

Progress of ultrasound in evaluation of rheumatoid arthritis disease activity

类风湿关节炎是临床常见的以关节滑膜炎症为主要表现的自身免疫性疾病,临床依据疾病活动度制定相应治疗方案,目前评估疾病活动度最常使用的是28个关节疾病活动度评分,由于该评分计算过程复杂且需要结合实验室检查结果,其应用受到限制。近年来,各超声技术在类风湿关节炎的诊疗中均发挥重要作用,本文就其在评估类风湿关节炎疾病活动度方面的应用进展进行综述。

Rheumatoid arthritis(RA)is a common autoimmune disorder characterized by synovial inflammation of joints.Clinical treatment is based on the degree of disease activity.At present,disease activity score 28 is most commonly used to assess the disease activity,and its application is limited due to its complex calculation process and the need to combine with laboratory examination results.In recent years,the new technique of high frequency ultrasound(HFUS)occupies vital position in the diagnosis and treatment process of R A.This article reviews the progress of HFUS in evaluation of RA disease activity.
