Background: Osteoarthritis is a painful chronic joint disease characterized by structural changes to the whole joint, including loss of articular cartilage, development of osteophytes, synovial inflammation, subchondral bone changes, meniscal damage, muscle weakness, and ligamentous laxity.
Aim of the Work: To detect osteopontine (OPN) in knee osteoarthritis.
Method: 60 patients diagnosed as primary knee OA fulfilling Arthritis Rheum 1986 OA classification criteria, And 60 healthy control were included. All patients subjected to through history taking and full examination, body mass index, plain x ray knees PA view to assess severity according to Kellgren and Laurence grading, plasma and synovial fluid OPN levels, and plasma OPN for control. Assessment of pain for OA patients by patient pain visual analogue scale (VAS) and for functional status by Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), ESR,CRP were done.
Results: There was significant difference between both groups regarding plasma osteopontine (p<0.0001), OPN levels in OA patients in plasma and synovial fluid was correlated with each other (p<0.0001), patient pain VAS, WOMAC score, K-L grading were correlated with plasma OPN levels with p value (0.001, <0.001, <0.001), and with synovial fluid OPN levels in primary OA patients with p value (0.008, <0.001, <0.001) respectively. ESR positively correlated with plasma OPN p = 0.004.
Conclusion: OPN is higher in OA patients more than control, and it is higher in synovial fluid than plasma in knee OA patients, OPN correlated with markers of systemic inflammation and has impact on functional status so it can be used as a diagnostic and prognostic factor in knee osteoarthritis.
