Risk factors for cardiovascular mortality in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, a prospective cohort study.

abstract：:It has long been recognized that laboratory tests are useful in the diagnosis of disease and to monitor treatment outcome. Their performance has become even more demanding with the development of personalized medicine. In patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) the standard biochemical tests measure serological marker...
