This document provides methods and materials related to assessing mammals (e.g., humans) with arthritis (e.g., RA). For example, methods and materials for using cytokine response profiles to assist clinicians in assessing RA disease activity, assessing the likelihood of response and outcomes of RA therapy, predicting long-term RA disease outcomes, and assessing the risk of developing heart conditions are provided. Methods and materials for using cytokine response profiles to assist clinicians in diagnosing arthritis (e.g., RA) also are provided. |
