Clinical Significance of Serum Amyloid A (SAA)
Measuring SAA levels may be a useful indicator of the response to therapy and degree of acute and chronic inflammation, due to any inflammatory disorder, such as rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, familial Mediterranean fever, progressive sclerosis as well as bacterial infections.
Secondary amyloidosis may develop as a result of prolonged or repeated inflammatory conditions in which SAA levels remain elevated.
