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
C’ 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
Antiphospholipid Ab syndrome d/t
CTDs (SLE)
malignancy
infections (HIV)
drugs (phenytoin, chlorpromazine)
Dx antiphospholipid Ab syndrome
1 clinical + 1 lab for 3 months
clinical: spontaneous aborrtion, vascular thrombosis
lab: anticardiolipin Ab, lupus anticoagulant, anti beta2 glycoprotein 1
how do you confrim antiphospholipid Ab syndrome
russel viper venom test
diseases that cause aa and vv clots
TTP HIT DIC ACLA (anticardiolipin Ab) LA (lupus anticoagulant) PNH infective endocarditis vasculitis
