Management of AAV:
1.High dose GC f/b reduced dose taper ‼️caution in pts w/severe renal dz and RTX induction.
2. RTX effective for induction and maintenance, best for relapses.
3.PLEX: in RPGN pts if accesible ⚠️ risk for infection.
4.Avacopan: for faster GC weaning. No https://t.co/kfZ4gM38KG

Pearls on EGPA:
1. GC are mainstay for mild
dz
2. Organ threatening/relapsing➡️CYP (RTX alternative)
3. W/o organ threatening➡️ anti-IL-5/IL-5R.
4. IL5i are less effective for ENT
5. Consider sx for nasal polyps.

EULAR FMF recommendations 2025:
still emphasis on colchicine adherence to maximal dose
+/- bDMARDs if needed for control
+/- csDMARDs for residual chronic MSK involvement
new: consider tapering bDMARD if remission >6mo
See the treatment algorithm below⬇️

Despite the evolution of anti-synthetase antibodies, there’s a clear need for better ways to define the disease.

FMF #Recommendations
🔺️Start Colchicine in All (& continue for confirmed pts)
🔺️Single or divided dose, depend on adherence & tolerance
🔺️Max dose 2 mg children, 3 mg adults
🔺️if failure: add IL1i (6 RCT) (2 for IL6i)
🔺️Add c or bDMARd if MSK

What is the difference between difficult to treat, and treatment-refractory?
(see these criteria for PsA)
Treatment refractory means that co-morbidities, psychosocial issues and other factors have been managed adequately, but inflammation keeps on going

#Colchicine can be fatal
🔺️Beware of drug interactions
🔺️Mostly statins in adults
🔺️Macrolides in children

Joint pain and fatigue are actually the biggest issues for people living with haemochromatosis, but we in rheumatology don’t have organized care for them.
A call to action from Patrick Kiely, to do better by these patients
