Abstract

AIM: To determine whether elevated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), as risk factors of symptomatic lumbar osteoarthritis (OA) in estrogen deficiency postmenopausal women.

METHODS: A case-control study was conducted between January and June 2017. The inclusion criteria include post-menopausal women with estrogen deficiency with low back pain. Exclusion criteria were: patients with a history of undergoing bilateral oophorectomy, taking hormonal replacement therapy or corticosteroid, malignancies, and lumbosacral spine trauma. The blood examinations were taken to measure IL-6 level by ELISA, hs-CRP level by spectrophotometry and ESR by modified Westergren method.

RESULTS: A group of 44 pairs of subjects were divided equally into case and control groups showed that in estrogen deficiency postmenopausal women, an increased level of hs-CRP increased the risk for symptomatic lumbar OA (OR = 2.83, CI95% = 1.065-8.776, p = 0.034). Also, a high level of IL-6 increased the risk of symptomatic lumbar OA (OR = 2.7, CI95% = 0.991-8.320, p = 0.033). No such significant findings were found for an increased ESR level.

CONCLUSION: Elevated level of plasma hs-CRP and IL-6 were concluded as risk factors for symptomatic lumbar OA in post-menopausal women.
