      Hypoxia seems to exacerbate neutrophil activation by ANCA - enhanced F-Actin polymerization - enhanced NET formation Could hypoxia predilection in certain tissues (kidney, lung) lead to the AAV phenotypic disease patterns? @RheumNow #ACR24 https://t.co/KxaeMvkd2t

      Prior studies have shown that IFN is increased in non-lesional skin of SLE pts. In this study, they found a ⬆️ expression of IFN stimulated genes (ISGs) in pts w/ a history of CLE. No correlation w/ CLASI act & IFN scores but only few pts. @RheumNow #ACR24 abs2678 https://t.co/cPT6yPkoCb

      Prof Petri reports the ff predictors of fracture in SLE: -older age -Caucasian race -female sex ⚠️ Prednisone (but not recent IM triamcinolone or IV methylpred) is a MAJOR risk factor. When possible, avoid prednisone! @RheumNow #ACR24 #ACRbest abs2679 @rheumarhyme https://t.co/q2NMRaYsAF

      Lacaille et al. Long term harms of previous steroids in RA. CV/infection mortality increase 7% every year/use. Takes 3.5 and 10 years to return to normal after 1 and 2 years use.

      What are the predictors of fracture in #SLE?

      🦴Prednisone! Even at low doses ≤5mg
      🦴Stroke
      🦴Caucasian race
