Is it pre-eclampsia or lupus nephritis flare?
Abstract 0809: The sFlt-1/PlGF ratio may help distinguish preeclampsia from lupus nephritis in pregnancy. A low ratio ruled out preeclampsia, while a high ratio ± proteinuria suggests increased risk. @RheumNow #ACR24

Cross-sectional study finds metabolic dysregulation in RA-ILD is indicative of poor prognosis- FGF-21 assoc w. poor survival.
Another link btwn CV risk factors, metabolic syndrome & RA? Should we be doing more to manage metabolic risk factors in RA-ILD?

Not just the presence but higher levels of biomarkers predict RA-ILD progression.

Medication-assisted weight loss has boomed in recent yrs. How does weight loss affect disease activity & PROs in RMDs?
≥5% weight loss, after taking a med, led to better disease activity & QoL
Data may inform RCTs to explore effect of these meds in RMDs

LTE of deucravacitinib trials in psoriasis. Remarkable & frankly surprising (to me) persistence of benefit Very encouraging for patients who start TYKs, looks like those who respond may have prolonged benefit #ACR24 @RheumNow Abstr#0290 #ACRBest https://t.co/kao4vqpPTQ

Don’t miss the “window of opportunity” for aggressive treatment in early RA!
with active RA, risk of ILD 6x and RA-related lung disease 4x higher

Cannabis in Pain:
CBD can help with nociceptive pain
THC better for neuropathic, centralized pain
Perhaps a role in helping decrease other medications like opiates

How often should #scleroderma #ILD pts have #PFTs? 🤷♂️
Data from SENCIS RCT of SSc-ILD
25% worsened FVC by 6/12
Are we UNDER a ordering PFTs in an ILD #SSc population
👇
Because if worsening we would consider a change in background #immunesuppression
