Sjogren’s was a “rare disease” for me in MBBS. I don’t even remember seeing a case. During MD, diagnosing one made me proud , it felt that difficult. After DM, something changed. Now I see Sjogren’s everywhere , often without the “textbook” presentation. What changed over the years? Not the disease. I changed. The way I see disease changed. That’s the power of pattern recognition. So happy to see @nileshnolkha bring a dedicated Sjogren’s meet to Mumbai. And the theme says it all: BEYOND DRYNESS. Welcome to the fascinating world of Sjogren’s. @IndianRheum @IRAeNewsLetter @DurgaPrasannaM1 @12VRavindran @Amansharmapgi @NeuroSjogrens @SandhyaRheumat

Why do patients with rheumatic disease need long-term treatment even when they feel “fine”? Because feeling better is not always the same as disease control. 1/n #medtwitter #rheumtwitter #autoimmunediseases

Most gout flare management in CKD is chaos. People either: • destroy kidneys with NSAIDs OR • poison patients with colchicine Here’s the practical ACUTE GOUT FLARE thread every junior doctor should know 🧵 @IhabFathiSulima @docakx

When I started to study rheumatology, my parents and relatives asked me what I was studying. I told them “rheumatology.” They did not understand. They said, cardiology means heart-related, neurology means brain-related, nephrology means kidney-related what exactly do you study? I paused. Because rheumatology does not belong to a single organ. It belongs to a process. #MedTwitter #RheumTwitter #Medicine #rheumatology @docakx @IhabFathiSulima @CelestinoGutirr @DurgaPrasannaM1

When ESR and CRP disagree, your job isn’t just to record numbers — it’s to interpret what the body’s really saying. 🧪 ESR ↑ + CRP ↓ → SLE, APLA 🧪 ESR ↓ + CRP ↑ → Infection, Vasculitis 🧪 Both ↑ → Flare 🧪 Both ↓ → Remission They don’t lie — they whisper clues. 👇 Save this infographic. #Rheumatology #MedTwitter #FOAMed #ClinicalPearls #MedEd @DrAkhilX @IhabFathiSulima @CelestinoGutirr @ArunInamadar @Janetbirdope
🧵 Thread: ESR vs CRP – Friends? Foes? Or Just… Different? They’re both inflammatory markers—but they don’t always agree. Let’s break down how they differ, overlap, and mislead. #MedTwitter @IhabFathiSulima @DrAkhilX @CelestinoGutirr

Plenary session at #ACR2025 by Michelle Petri 📣Important insight on early LN detection: ‼️UPCR (0.25-0.499) + predictor of LN (non white/ serology/ active urine sediment) ➡️ 71% LN; 55% requiring treatment ❗️Low C3/C4- most important 🧐probably time to reconsider cut off!
