CARTILAGE GLYCOPROTEIN ROLE IN THE OSTEOARTHROSIS OF KNEE JOINT DIAGNOSIS
In recent years the morbidity growth of knee joint osteoarthritis was noted. The risk of disablement loss of patients with gonarthrosis is comparable with the group of elderly patients, suffering from cardiovascular diseases and it is higher than other diseases of this group of patients. This work presents the results of cartilage glycoprotein role in patients with osteoarthrosis. The study of cartilage glycoprotein level allows to estimate the degree of cartilage destruction. Cartilage glycoprotein may be considered as an early and perspective marker of articular cartilage remodeling.
