Objective The prognosis of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) complicated with interstitial lung disease (ILD) is very poor. We used blood protein profiles to identify biomarkers for ILD in patients with RA. Methods Proteome analyses of plasma samples from 16 RA patients with ILD or without chronic lung disease (C...
