Abstract
The present study aimed to detect serum fetuin-A levels in knee
osteoarthritis (OA) patients and to investigate their correlation with
clinical severity. We enrolled 215 knee OA patients and 76 healthy controls.
We measured serum fetuin-A levels by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and
assessed the correlation between serum fetuin-A levels and Kellgren-Lawrence
grades as well as Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index
scores in OA patients. Our results demonstrated that serum fetuin-A levels
were independently and negatively correlated with greater clinical severity
in OA patients. | m*******s
