#RheumFellows Starting AZA? Begin at 50 mg/day for 4 weeks with weekly labs. If tolerated, increase to 100 mg (AZA) for weeks 5-8, then to 150 mg (AZA) for weeks 9-12 with biweekly labs. After 12 weeks, maintain dose with quarterly monitoring #ClinicalPearls #RheumClinic #NYKI

Hello #RheumTwitter , asking for my knowledge as a fellow, if someone has Normal SI joints on MRI but have lower back pain that sounds inflammatory but normal labs, can they still have ankylosing spondylitis or Spondyloarthritis ?


Key OA risk factors: Age, genetics, female sex post-50, obesity, joint trauma/abnormal mechanics, smoking. Certain jobs/sports with repetitive impact also increase risk. Age remains the strongest factor. #OsteoarthritisAwareness #JointHealth #RiskFactors
