Also, they were subjected to x ray andMRI examination Results: There was significant increase in laboratory parameters and increase in albumin fibrinogen ratio in rheumatoid patients as compared to healthy control subjects. Also, there was positive correlation of the ratio with X ray and MRI score for synovitis and bone destruction Conclusion: AFR may be easily, rapidly detected and prognostically useful markers of ongoing inflammation and joint affection correspondingly to radiological findings.
