Blood test could predict knee OA years before radiographic signs: study
Researchers identified a set of six serum peptides that could accurately predict future disease.
Serum biomarkers may predict knee osteoarthritis at least eight years before radiographic abnormalities, a study shows.
After analysing blood tests of 200 UK women, half diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis (OA) and half without, US researchers discovered six peptides that accurately distinguished the women with OA from those without it.
