Myositis Specific Antibodies (MSAs) Dermatomyositis: MDA5, TIF1y, NXP2, Mi-2, SAE Anti-Synthetase Syndrome: Jo-1, PL7, PL12, EJ, OJ Immune Mediated Necrotizing Myopathy (IMNM): HMGCR, SRP Inclusion Body Myositis (IBM) + others: NT5c1A/cN1A By Mithu Maheswaranathan, MD @MithuRheum #Myositis #Specific #Antibodies #MSAs #clinical #diagnosis #rheumatology #table
Scleroderma Renal Crisis (SRC) Clinical Presentation of Scleroderma Renal Crisis: 1) Acute kidney injury 2) Abrupt onset of hypertension 3) Abnormal urinalysis 3) microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA) Pathophysiology: • Precise pathogenesis is unknown but may involve vasculopathy, endothelial cell activation, ↓ perfusion • Biopsy → endothelial cell injury, arteriolar thickening, fibrinoid necrosis, fibrotic "onion-skinning" of arteries Management Pearls: • Hospitalization for BP control & Monitoring • Renal Biopsy to confirm diagnosis and rule out other pathology (e.g. pauci-immune GN) • Initiate ACEi (short-acting, e.g. captopril, to allow titration q6 hours) for initial therapy. • If uncontrolled with ACEi, add other BP meds • Refractory cases → consider PLEX (overlap TTP or aHUS), eculizumab, vasodilators (ERAs) By Mithu Maheswaranathan, MD @MithuRheum #SRC #Scleroderma #Renal #Crisis #rheumatology #nephrology #diagnosis #management
CNS Manifestations of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) Clinical Manifestations: Demyelinating Syndrome, Headache, Movement disorders, Seizure disorders, Aseptic Meningitis, Myelopathy, Encephalopathy, Cognitive Dysfunction, Cerebrovascular Disease, PRES Pathophysiology: Pathogenesis involves the formation of autoantibodies that will cause ischemia and/or inflammation, leading to vasculopathy, thrombosis and/or blood-brain barrier permeability Diagnosis of Lupus Cerebritis: Labs, Imaging, Lumbar Puncture, EEG Treatment: • Inflammatory Pathway - Lupus Cerebritis Induction Rx: high-dose glucocorticoids + cyclophosphamide • Ischemic Pathway - Aspirin, anticoagulants (for secondary APS), Secondary prevention (statin for CVA) By Dr. Gabriela Figueiredo Pucci @gabifpucci (@neudrawlogy) and Mithu Maheswaranathan, MD @MithuRheum (@RheumOnePagers) #Systemic #Lupus #Erythematosus #SLE #CNS #neurology #rheumatology #cerebritis #diagnosis #management #treatment
Systemic Sclerosis (Scleroderma) Multi-system autoimmune disease characterized by vasculopathy and progressive fibrosis of skin and internal organs 3 Subtypes of Scleroderma (SSc): • Limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (LcSSc) - distal skin thickening, distal to elbows/wrists and knees • Diffuse systemic sclerosis (DcSSc; diffuse) - skin thickening extends proximally to arms, thighs, and/or trunk • Systemic Sclerosis sine scleroderma (ssSSc) - fibrosing internal organ involvement without skin thickening Signs and Symptoms: • Cardiac: myocardial fibrosis, pericarditis • Hepatic: PBC (primary biliary cholangitis) overlap • Gastrointestinal: GERD, dysmotility, SIBO, GAVE, pseudoobstruction • Cutaneous ("salt and pepper" skin changes): skin thickening, sclerodactyly, telangiectasias, poikiloderma, calcinosis • Pulmonary: ILD (interstitial lung disease), PAH (pulmonary arterial HTN) • Renal: scleroderma renal crisis (SRC) • Musculoskeletal: joint involvement, acro-osteolysis, myositis overlap • Vascular: Raynaud's, digital ulcers Mithu Maheswaranathan, MD @MithuRheum #Systemic #Sclerosis #Scleroderma #SSc #rheumatology #diagnosis #signs #symptoms #testing #workup
