CT disorders Flashcards
Class I autoimmune diseases
HLA-A, B, or C
more common in men
Class II autoimmune disease
HLA-D
more common in women
SLE
inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by ANA
HLA-B8
HLA-DR2
HLA-DR3
more common in women and non-whites, especially blacks
Cā deficiencies
splinter hemorrhages
in fingernails
rare, but can occur in SLE
most likely dt vascular changes in bed of nail
SLE Dx
must have 4/11 criteria
B3O1R1N1 with D3ermA1titiS1
B3
- Hematologic disorder (hemolytic anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia)
- Immunologic Disorder (ds-DNA, Sm, or APA, or FPSTS- false + for syphillis)
- ANA (def going to be pos- lupus band test)
ANA subtypes
Ro/SSA, La/SSB Sm (smith) RNP/U1-RNP Scl70/topizomerase 1 Jo-1
which pattern is most specific to SLE
peripheral/rim
O1R1N1
- oral ulcers (can also be in vagina, nose)
- renal disorder (proteinuria or casts)
- neurological disorder (seizures, psychosis)
proteinuria in SLE
> 500 or 3+
any type of casts
D3
malar rash
discoid rash (DLE)
photosensitivity
A1titiS1
arthritis- w/or w/o synovitis
serositis- pleuritis or pericarditis
other cardiac issues of SLE
- alveolar hemorrhage-> cough up blood, only 2 diseases that will cause hematuria and hemoptosis: SLE and goodpastures
- endocarditis that is not infectious
HCQ
reverses platelet activation via IgG antiphospholipid
libman-sacks vegetations aka
atypical verrucous vegitations
marantic or non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis
what drugs are implicated in drug induced SLE
hydralzine isoniazide procainamide methimaxole PTU etanercept
drug induced SLE
seen in slow acetylators no renal disease no CNS disease \+anti-histone Abs -> homogenous/diffuse pattern TQ
which Ab is most dangerous in prego
lupus anticoagulant anticardiolipin Ab
what other Abs should you screen for with SLE and prego
beta 2 glycoprotein 1
anti-Ro
anti-La
which SLE drug is safe in prego
HCQ
how do you differentiate SLE from preeclampsia?
both have: HTN, proteinuria, and low platelets
Abnormal LFTS: rare in SLE, common in preeclampsia
serology: dsDNA and low C3/C4 in SLE, nothing in preeclampsia
uric acid: notmal in SLE, high in preeclampsia
describe rash of SLE
spares knuckles and face
non-indurated, erythematous plaques to papulosquamous or annular lesions with central hypopigmentation or telaniectasia
seen in sun exposed areas
d/t Ro/SSA
what is the fetus at risk for
heart block
Tx with HCQ
which defect is best answer when pt has clotting issues
lupus anticoagulant
