Neutrophilic Activity Biomarkers (Plasma Neutrophil Extracellular Traps and Calprotectin) in Established Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis Receiving Biological or JAK Inhibitors: A Clinical and Ultrasonographic Study.

While NET formation induced by neutrophils may play a role in RA pathogenesis, our study raises questions about the utility of NET remnants in peripheral circulation as a biomarker for inflammatory activity. In contrast, this study strongly supports the usefulness of calprotectin as a biomarker of inflammatory activity in patients with RA.
