Adipocytokines play an important role in joint inflammation in patients with knee osteoarthritis as measured by ultrasound and high sensitivity protein-C reactive. Adipocytokines could be the link between osteoarthritis and cardiovascular risk factors more prevalent in these patients.

RECRUITINGadipocytokine level
We will determine the adipocytokine level at the end of inclusion period between 12-18 months
Time frame: 18 months
Ultrasound inflammatory exploration of the knee
we evaluate the presence of synovial fluid with ultrasound evaluation in the visit of the patient. Ultrasound evaluation will be performed by two Rheumatologists.
Time frame: 18 months
Ultrasound of carotid artery
We will evaluate patients with ultrasound exploration in order to describe the presence of atheromatous disease in the visit of the patient
Time frame: 18 months
Cardiovascular risk factors
We evaluate the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in the symptomatic knee osteoarthritis patients, and the relationship with adipocytokines. We will evaluate blood analyse levels of cholesterol, glycemia.
Time frame: 18months
