wolff crosswards- OA, gout Flashcards
Hormone that acts to increase free Ca2+ levels in the plasma, does this increasing bone breakdown promoting reabsorption of Ca 2+ in kidney, and promoting generation of calcitriol
PTH
Often the dose-limiting adverse effect when colchicine is administered for gout prophylaxis
GI Distress
Late choice biologic DMARD due to limited efficacy, it is a recombinant version of endogenous human Il-1 receptor antagonist
Anakinra
Supplementation of this is recommendation for people prescribed methotrexate and/or sulfasalazine for the treatment of RA
Folate
Abruptly doing this with exogenous glucocorticoids can be deadly
Stopping
Needed to hasten the nevertheless sow-onset responses for DMARDs such as hydroxychloroquine and leflunomide because of their long half-life
Loading Dose
Calcitonin from this species has a longer half-life and greater potency than human calcitonin
Salmon
Agent used as a traditional DMARD alone or in combination and also to treat IBD, GI side effects are a common reason for discontinuing
Sulfasalazine
Absolute contraindication for treatment of RA with methotrexate, reason to choose hydroxychloroquine instead
Pregnancy
Drugs that lower serum urate levels by increasing its fractional excretion by the kidneys
Uricosuric
Very effective pain relievers, unfortunately have a high risk of abuse and misuse so not used for pain of osteoarthritis etc
Opioid
Biologic DMARD, generally not initial choice, a fusion protein blocks T- cell CD80/86 co stimulatory signal needed for activation
Abatacept
Microscopic canals between the lacunae of ossified bone; large enough for bacterial but too small for white blood cells so healing with osteomyelitis requires wither that efficacious abx can reach bacteria or that infected bone is removed
Canaliculi
COX-2 inhibitor that can be administered to treat pain and inflammation of RA if benefits>risks; only member of its class is still marketed in the US
Celecoxib
Intense and historically feared during acute gout attack
Pain
Part of dietary intake ( DNA, RNA) that is abundant in, for example organ meats, also synthesized and salvaged as necessary
Purines
Nonpegylated recombinant uricase administered for prevention of acute uric acid nephropathy due to tumor lysis syndrome
Rasburicase
Refers to person with hyperuricemia due to excess synthesis, excess dietary intake and/or excess cell turnover
Overproducer
PEGylated version of recombinant mammalian uricase uses to treat chronic gout in those refractory to conventional therapy
Pegloticase
Biologic DMARD, generally a later choice, that is humanized antihuman 1L-6 receptor antibody among its effects is to decrease the acute- phase response to liver
Tocilizumab
Should not be administered to RA patients due to the risk of infection
Live Vaccines
Blocking the effects of this inflammatory mediator is a common target when treating RA and various other autoimmune disease
TNF- Alpha
SNRI that is being used to treat osteoarthritis with some success but increased risk for constipation is problematic
Duloxetine
Important non-pharmacological component of RA management
Exercise
This of the malignancy can be treated with bisphosphonates or furosemide
Hypercalcemia
Non- Aspirin NSAID with long half-life that can be useful for treating inflammation and/or pain of arthritis a recommendation drug choice when benefits still outweigh concurrent cardiovascular risks
Naproxen
Refers to the use of methotrexate, hydroxychloroquine and sulfasalazine together to treat RA
Triple Therapy
Autoantibodies present in majority of RA patients target arginine residues in proteins that have been converted to a cyclic form of this
Citrulline
Can occur in people using bisphosphonates (or denosumab) jaw is a common site where it can be triggered by dental work = osteonecrosis
Osteonecrosis
Associated with high serum urate levels (and gluttony), exquisitely painful with big toe being a frequent site
Gout
Anti- malarial that is also a traditional DMARD used alone or in combination, alters antigen presentation by disrupting lysosomal pH
Hydroxychloroquine
Happens to methotrexate, appears to be responsible for its low-dose ability to treat RA and reasons its beneficial effects persist for some time after drug discontinuation
Polyglutamation
Type of bone that is broken in the atypical femoral fractures seen with bisphosphonate treatment
Cortical
Patient population at greater risk for serious adverse effects of NSAIDs…and risk for osteoarthritis
Elderly
Expensive non-purine/noncompetitive xanthine oxidase inhibitor useful for reducing urate levels in those with allopurinol intolerance
Febuxostat
