Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of recombinant human type II tumor necrosis factor receptor-antibody fusion protein(rhTNRF:Fc)in refractory chronic gouty arthritis. Methods From January 2022 to December 2023, 46 cases of refractory chronic gouty arthritis in the Rheumatology Outpatient Department,Shunde Hospital Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine were selected and divided into an observation group and a control group. The control group received routine treatment,while the observation group received rhTNRF:Fc treatment additionally for at least 12 weeks, two groups of indicators such as serum urine acid(sUA), TNF-α, changes in musculoskeletal ultrasound,number of gout attacks,hepatic and renal function at 0, 12, 24, and 48 weeks were observed. Results There was no significant difference in sUA between the observation group and the control group(P>0. 05), TNF-α significantly decreased(P<0. 05), synovitis and joint effusion imaging manifestations reduced(P<0. 05), number of gout attacks decreased(P<0. 05). During the observation period, liver and kidney function were normal, and no patients withdrew from the study due to adverse reactions. Conclusions Using rhTNRF:Fc is safe and effective in treating refractory chronic gouty arthritis.
