OBJECTIVE
To determine the cause of upper limb edema in 8 patients with peripheral polyarthritis of rheumatoid-type.
METHODS
Objective assessment of lymph function using quantitative lymphoscintigraphy.
RESULTS
Seven cases with either rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis were found to have impaired lymph drainage associated with edema. All cases shared a distal rheumatoid pattern of arthritis but showed no relation between severity of lymphatic impairment and either duration or severity of arthritis.
CONCLUSION
Polyarthritis of rheumatoid-type may be associated with lymphedema due to impaired lymphatic function.
目的
确定8例类风湿型周围多关节炎患者上肢水肿的病因。
方法
采用定量淋巴闪烁显像术对淋巴功能进行客观评估。
结果
发现7例类风湿性关节炎或银屑病关节炎患者存在与水肿相关的淋巴引流受损。所有病例均有远端类风湿性关节炎模式，但淋巴功能损害的严重程度与关节炎的病程或严重程度之间无相关性。
结论
类风湿型多关节炎可能与淋巴功能受损导致的淋巴水肿有关。
