Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The primary outcome measure is the correlation between fat mass, measured by an<br /><br>validated scale, and the IFX level. This will be measured prior to the IFX<br /><br>infusion. The IFX concentration will be measured and analysed in blood. Prior<br /><br>to de IFX infusion the trough level will be measured (according to regular<br /><br>health care). 30 minutes after the end of the infusion the top level will be<br /><br>measured </p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Secondarily, the body composition; measured by skinfold thickness, waist<br /><br>circumference, hand grip strength, BMI and body composition will be correlated<br /><br>to the IFX concentration.<br /><br><br /><br>Furthermore, de disease activity, inflammation parameters and the amount of<br /><br>adverse effects will be measured en corelated to the fat mass. </p><br>
