Markers of angiogenesis and macrophage products for predicting disease course and monitoring vascular inflammation in giant cell arteritis

OBJECTIVE: GCA, a systemic vasculitis, is characterized by an IL-6-dependent acute-phase response. This response is typically suppressed by treatment rendering CRP/ESR unreliable for monitoring vascular inflammation. Also, there are no accurate biomarkers predicting a non-favourable disease course....
