Serum galectin‐3 concentrations in patients with ankylosing spondylitis

Objective The aim of our study was to assess potential correlations between serum galectin‐3 concentrations and Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity (ASDAS) index in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Methods A total of 112 patients with AS were included, and 130 healthy subjects were con...

Zusammenfassung:	Objective The aim of our study was to assess potential correlations between serum galectin‐3 concentrations and Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity (ASDAS) index in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Methods A total of 112 patients with AS were included, and 130 healthy subjects were considered as controls. We collected the detailed medical history, and ASDAS index was used to assess the disease severity in patients with AS. Results The serum galectin concentrations were higher in AS patients compared to the health groups (14.1 ± 9.6 vs 9.2 ± 3.7, P
