Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, inflammatory, systemic autoimmune disease, affecting the joints with varying severity among patients. The risk factors include age, gender, genetics, and environmental exposure (cigarette smoking, air pollutants, and occupational). Many complications can follow, such as permanent joint damage requiring arthroplasty, rheumatoid vasculitis, and Felty syndrome requiring splenectomy if it remains unaddressed. This Study was carried out in AL- Zahra Hospital.(25) adult male (men) ,(35-50) years old,were divided into (2) groups .The first group contained healthy men(10) and assisted as controller group (G1) ,men in next group were with Rheumatoid arthritis(15) (G2) , .In this present study we collect samples of blood to count the serum of Total cholesterol(TC),Triglycerides(TG),High density lipoprotein (HDL)and Low density Lipoprotein (LDL) . The results revealed that : Significant increase (P<0.05) in serum TC,TG and LDL levels in G2 compared with control group (G1) , Significant decrease (P<0.05) in serum HDL levels in G2 compared with G1. . From the data of the present research , it can be determined that Rheumatoid arthritis, effect on metabolism of fats in men.
