Dr @andreafava presents their noninvasive biomarker panel that predicted the probability of histologically active LN. Panel outperformed UPCR, C3, C4 & antidsDNA. Aid in clinical-decision making? Lots of potential for monitoring tx response. @Rheumnow #ACR24 abs1642 #ACRbest

Cool data from the JAK-POT study Have heard JAKs faster than TNF; perhaps not the case! If anything, TNFs outperformed the others in this study Trying not to over-read this, but supports my re-emerging preference for TNF #ACR24 @rheumnow Abstr#0501

What do you do with MTX in RA-ILD patients? 1. RA dx activity drives RA-ILD 2. MTX is a cornerstone of effective RA therapy 3. MTX not a/w increased RA-ILD 4. MTX pneunonitis is very rare You do the math. Critical for our patients #ARANZRA24

For #osteoporosis management, drugs are not enough because they do not reduce fall risk. #Sarcopenia should also be addressed. #OnePRA2024
