The study aim: The purpose of this study is to measure the matrix metalloproteinase 7 (MMP7) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and to assess for any correlation with RA-disease activity.

The results revealed that serum (S) MMP7 was significantly higher among RA patients with interstitial lung disease than patients without. Conclusion: The study documented that S.MMP7 may be used as a screening test for detection of interstitial lung disease in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The study recommended: Measurement of serum MMP7 level to RA patients may be used as screening test for detection of ILD
