From: Biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction, cardiovascular risk factors and atherosclerosis in rheumatoid arthritis

Marker IL-6 Rheumatoid factor GFR
  Ra P Ra P Ra P
VCAM-1 (pg/ml) 0.262 0.04 0.345 0.006 -0.299 0.02
ICAM-1 (pg/ml) 0.263 0.04 0.373 0.003 -0.351 0.005

  1. aThe correlation coefficients shown are controlled for traditional risk factors (age; sex; race; smoking, alcohol and exercising status; diabetes; waist; systolic blood pressure; total cholesterol; high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; triglycerides) in multivariable regression models. ELAM, endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule; GFR, glomerular filtration rate; ICAM, intercellular adhesion molecule; IL, interleukin; VCAM, vascular adhesion molecule.
