摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inspection method of relapsing polychondritis with use of serum marker.;SOLUTION: The amount of TREM-1 protein in serum is inspected as an indicator. When the amount of the TREM-1 protein in serum, after being measured, exceeds a prescribed value, it is judged that a subject has a high probability of being developing relapsing polychondritis. Using the amount of TREM-1 protein in serum as an indicator makes it possible to inspect a disease activity of relapsing polychondritis or therapeutic effect quickly and easily.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT
