I’ll keep on tweeting more @RheumNow, but it’s time for me to leave the #ACR23 conference center. Another year of an incredible scientific program, seeing many friends (although sadly ran out of time to see many too) and a whole lot of rheumatology fun. See you in DC #ACR24! https://t.co/h31abYsipX

#Yr in #Preview #ACR2023 J Buyon Pregnancies in #SLE have high #VTE risk - look at Ob/Gyn guidelines for prophylaxis of LMW #heparin - all SLE pregnancies recommend #ASA & #HCQ biomarkers for #renal #lupus, #HCQ levels ?aid #Rx -#SLE nephritis low prednisone 2 IS>1 @RheumNow

B cell signalling reduction to treat #RA? Telitacicept RCT showed #efficacy in active RA w MTX -maybe blunted high responses but no active comparator, only #PBO so difficult to compare to current Rx and only from 1 country China. Past bDMARDs not reported L20 @RheumNow @ACRheum

#Hope for people with #SLE Insights from #ACR23 #Lupus #nephritis - half the oral #prednisone is = to 1 mg/kg induction after IV #solumedrol LESS PRED #Anifrolimumab reduces similarly skin, jts, other common organs in #SLE RCTS APPROX 2X improvement vs PBO @RheumNow @ACRheum https://t.co/OtdfTxZxr4
