Abstract

Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is expressed in the joints of RA patients, it is synthesized and released by different cell types, such as subsynovial macrophages, fibroblasts surrounding microvessels, vascular smooth muscle cells and synovial lining cells. 30 patients with Rheumatoid arthritis were enrolled in our study, they were collected from the Rheumatology, Rehabilitation and Physical medicine outpatients' clinic and inpatients' department of Benha University Hospitals and 20 apparently healthy volunteers with a comparable age and sex of patients were included in the study as a control group. Conclusion: Vascular endothelial growth factor concentrations were elevated in the sera of patients with RA and could be used as a marker for rheumatoid arthritis.
