Highlights from Day 3 at ACR24 included the plenary session presentation on Nipocalimab (previously reviewed), but the big highlight was the Lupus Nephritis guideline recommendations.

This has been an interesting ACR meeting in terms of PMR updates. I would argue that we are still far too wedded to glucocorticoids only in the management of PMR. Yes, some patients will do fine with just glucocorticoids but we persist far too long with a glucocorticoid only strategy in others who clearly need an alternative as glucocorticoid adverse events multiply.

Lots of lupus research and the New ACR Guidelines on Lupus Nephritis management were presented today. These and other highlights as featured on our Twitter (X) feed from ACR24 in Washington, DC.
