Identification of Serum Biomarkers Associated with Muscle Damage Detected on MRI in Polymyositis/dermatomyositis
Background/Purpose: Polymyositis/Dermatomyositis (PM/DM) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by muscle weakness, and cutaneous manifestations. Although PM/DM exhibits distinct disease phenotypes based on autoantibodies, assessing…Abstract Number: 1177 • ACR Convergence 2023
Anti-HMGCR Autoantibody Levels in the Follow-up of Statin-induced Immune-mediated Necrotizing Myopathy: Multicentric Study of 24 Patients
Background/Purpose: Statin-induced immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) is associated with anti-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGCR) autoantibodies. It is characterized by elevated creatine kinase (CK) levels, and severe muscle…Abstract Number: 1954 • ACR Convergence 2023
Evaluation of Cancer Screening Methods in Patients Diagnosed with Inflammatory Muscle Disease at Kansas University Medical Center
