Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by joint inflammation and systemic complications. Adiponectin and C-reactive protein (CRP) have been implicated in the inflammatory process associated with RA, but their relationship and role in joint damage remain unclear. Methodology: A comprehensive literature review was conducted, and an investigation was carried out to assess the levels of adiponectin, CRP, in patients with RA compared to healthy controls. Data from a sample of RA patients were analyzed to explore the potential correlation between adiponectin, CRP. Results: Consistent with previous findings, patients with RA exhibited elevated levels of adiponectin and CRP compared to healthy individuals. Elevated disease activity in RA was associated with higher concentrations of adiponectin, which correlated with increased radiological joint damage. A modest positive correlation between adiponectin and CRP was observed, suggesting their potential use as early indicators of joint damage in RA. Conclusion: Adiponectin and CRP levels, along with lipid profiles, could serve as valuable biomarkers for early identification of joint damage in RA. Regular screening and follow-up are recommended to monitor disease activity and extra-articular symptoms and address treatment-related issues. However, further community-based studies with larger sample sizes are necessary to elucidate the impact of adiponectin on disease activity in RA and its correlation with CRP.
