2023 @eular_org recommendations for LVV imaging
interestingly, the key changes vs 2018 are about PET/CT:
- can consider PET/CT for cranial GCA diagnosis
- PET/CT (alt MRI) can be used for monitoring - more for when you lose ESR/CRP because of IL-6i

Meds in #lupus at #EULAR2023 recs
- HCQ first line therapy. Target dose remains the same. Some discussion on monitoring levels if possible
- MAIN CHANGE - Glucocorticoids to be minimized (only use for bridging). Nephrologists more so in favor of steroid free remission @RheumNow https://t.co/d8WnUOgrwq
