13
Q

ESR

A

non protein acute phase reactant - effects plasma viscosity as fibrinogen is consumed

more inflammation - less viscous plasma - more cells fall out of suspension

Q

immunopathology of RA

A

rheumatoid factor produced by synovium

  • RF fixes complement
  • complement consumed
  • recruit and activates PMNs
  • localized immune complex disease

TNF and MAC destroy joint

Q

DIP

A

osteoarthritis

26
Q

pannus

A

infiltrating lymphocytes - seen in rheumatoid arthritis

27
Q

ulnar deviation

A

rheumatoid arthritis

28
Q

U/S vs. RA

A

inflammation better seen with ultrasound**

29
Q

imaging in RA

A

X-ray insensitive

MRI - occult erosions, synovial enhancement, synovial thickening

30
Q

boutonniere deformity

A

in hand with RA

enthesitis and rupture

31
Q

swan neck deformity

A

in hand with RA

enthesitis and rupture

32
Q

enthesitis

A

inflammation where tendon/ligament insert into bone

33
Q

rheumatic nodules

A

almost pathognomonic of RA

-always RF positive

34
Q

additional mainfestations of RA

A
rheumatoid nodules
sjogrens
feltys
vasculitis
rheumatoid lung
cardiac
neuromyopathy
inflammatory eye disease**
osteoporosis
lymphadenopathy
hyperviscosity - DVT
cryoglobulinemia
dermatologic
amyloidosis
35
Q

myelopathy in RA

A

spinal cord damage
-no HVLA**

neck pain radiates to occiput
dysesthesia of fingers and feet
marble sensation - limbs and trunk
jumping leg
disturbed bladder function
36
Q

scleritis and scleromalacia

A

seen with RA

-inflammatory eye disease

37
Q

sicca symptoms

A

dry eyes, dry mouth, vaginal dryness, tracheo-bronchial dryness

sjogrens - can occur with rheumatoid arthritis

38
Q

SS-A

A

Ro

39
Q

SS-B

A

La

40
Q

SS-A and SS-B

A

Ro and La

associatd with primary sjogrens

41
Q
Rh +
anti-CCP +
ANA +
ESR/CRP elevated
anemia
thrombocytosis
hyperglobulinemia
leukopenia/granulocytopenia
glucose in body fluids - very low
A

seen in RA

42
Q

diagnosis of RA based on auto-Abs

A

RF alone - needs to be very high for diagnosis - not that specific

with anti-CCP - increased specificity

43
Q

CCP

A

cyclic cirtullinated protein

44
Q

good predictor of erosiveness

A

RF

45
Q

anti-CCP alone

A

96% specific

46
Q

anti-CCP and RF

A

98% specific

47
Q

goal of therapy in RA

A

alleviate pain
slow rate of joint damage

only things we can do unfortunately

48
Q

pharmacotherapy for RA

A
NSAIDs - toxicity assocation
corticosteroids - chronic use - bad
DMARD - delayed onset of action
biologic - infection and \$\$$
analgesic - long last opiod - control pain and improve function
49
Q

DMARDs

A

methotrexate
leflunomide

also hydroxychloroquine, sulfasalazin, gold compounds, azathioprine, cyclosporine

50
Q

category X in pregnancy

A
