Are ana’s specfic or senstive for lupus

A

senstive as 100% of those with it will have it however shows up in other ds so not specfic at all

hydralize, procainamide, isoniazide, penicillamine, sulfa, phytonin (SHIPPP)

32
Q

Sjorgren syndrome pnemonic

A

can’t see, can’t spit, can’t climb up shit

33
Q

describe sjorgren syndrome

A

you are very dry and you have autoimmune destruction of lacrimal and salivary flands

34
Q

if a ds is autoimmune who is gonna have it more likely

A

Woman

35
Q

A

SS-A (RO) SS-B (La) ……RoLa

36

what is most commonly effect in scleroderma

A

skin

38
Q

Crest is associated with

A

localized scleroderma

39
Q

widespread skin involvement with rapid progression and early visceral involvement seen in

A

diffuse scleroderma

40
Q

what do you see in early scleroderma

A

edema

41
Q

what do you see in late scleroderma

A

capillaries with thickened walls

42
Q

where is scleroderma most severe

A

in the esophagus, food can get stuck here

43
Q

why would the kidneys be of any concern in scleroderma

A

as hpertension and malgnant hypertension can result

44
Q

if the lungs are involved in scleroderma what may occur

A

pulmonary hypertension and interstitial fibrosis

45
Q

those with crest will have what assoicated with it tq

A

anticentromere antibody

46
Q

what two lab vaules will you see in scleroderma

A

anticentromere antibodies and antibodies to scl-70

47
Q

Pro’s and con’s of anticentromere antibodies in scleroderma

A

pro’s
- lower freq of pulmonary fibrosis and mortality
Con’s
- higher risk of pulmonary HTN

48
Q

If you see antibodies to SCL-70 elevated in someone with scleroderma this means they will have

A

high mortality, increase risk of pulmonary fibrosis, and rapid cutanous involvement
