Abstract

Resistance to insulin action is a feature that accompanies certain diseases among which chronic inflammatory states like rheumatoid arthritis are included. What is, what its pathogenesis is, how it is measured, and what clinical and therapeutic implications have in rheumatoid arthritis patients is a topic not familiar to rheumatologists that is reviewed in this paper.

Keywords:
Insulin resistance
Rheumatoid arthritis
Resumen

La resistencia a la acción de la insulina es una situación clínica que suele acompañar a las enfermedades inflamatorias crónicas como la artritis reumatoide. Su presencia puede aumentar la morbi-mortalidad de las enfermedades a las que se asocia. En qué consiste, cuál es su etiopatogenia, cómo se mide y qué implicaciones clínicas y terapéuticas tiene en pacientes con artritis reumatoide es un tema que no es familiar para reumatólogos y que abordamos en esta revisión.

Palabras clave:
Resistencia a la insulina
Artritis reumatoide
