Conditions that may be associated with changes in markers of fibroses or collagen turnover (eg. on-going or active rheumatological disease requiring anti-inflammatory agents, immunosuppression, pulmonary fibrosis, active cancer)
Prolonged use (> 2 weeks) of glucocorticoids or NSAIDs within 2 weeks prior to visit 0
Women of childbearing potential who are not on acceptable contraception. See below.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women

Other concominant disease or treatment that according to investigator's assessment makes the patient unsuitable for participation in the study
Measured twice at visit 0. In case of elevation, an ambulatory (24-hour) blood pressure will be performed, and the result of this will be conclusive
Measured at visit 0 with the possibility of one repeat analysis within a week, and the last measured value will be conclusive.
