| Rheumatoid factor (RF) produce in rheumatoid arthritis (RA)disease associated with effect of some environment factors and smoking . In this study, we investigated whether the association between RF production and smoking was influenced by duration of disease . the samples were taken from fifty patients with RA ,that achieved four or more criteria of the 2010 American college of Rheumatology , the sample of control 20 healthy person were used the level of RF –iso type concentration was detect in serum of patients of control group . the samples of the present study were taken from the rheumatology department of AL-Hussein General Teaching Hospital in Thi-Qar province from beginning of September 2012 into end of march 2013. The result shown high concentration of IgG -RF ,IgM-RF and IgA-RF (0.227,0.092and 0.245) respectively compare with control( 0.102,0.095 and 0.092). with high statistically significant (P<0.001).Between studied group and control with IgM-RF,IgG-RF, and slightly statistically significant between studied groups(P<0.05). ,in IgA. | ||
