At #EULAR2024, there are a few presentations on this topic that will help us understand this progression from PsO to PsA better.

With these tools at our disposal, they are inevitably making their way into healthcare. One notable example is response optimization for SLE patients, as highlighted in abstract #0989.

Great 1st #EULAR2024 scientific session: “Asymptomatic” Hyperuricemia — innocent bystander vs. menacing foe. Data re: effects on joints, kidneys, & heart have not supported clear clinical consequences w/ exception of kidney crystal deposition. TIGER Study results eagerly awaited. https://t.co/IPQU3Ww0NA
