Tissue metabolite of type I collagen, C1M, and CRP predicts structural progression of rheumatoid arthritis

Abstract Background Biomarkers of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity typically measure inflammation or autoimmunity (e.g. CRP, RF). C1M and C3M, metabolites of type I and III collagen, are markers reflecting tissue metabolism. These markers have been documented to provide additional prognost...
