Insights into Celiac Disease & Systemic Autoimmune Diseases

Lara C. Pullen, PhD  |  May 14, 2019

Little is known about the immunopathogenic relationship between celiac disease and systemic autoimmune diseases, such as primary Sjögren’s syndrome and systemic sclerosis. But new research indicates that screening for celiac disease may benefit patients newly diagnosed with systemic autoimmune diseases, as well as supports the idea that celiac disease may accelerate the development of systemic autoimmune disease…

Early Onset of Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome May Carry a Worse Prognosis

Lara C. Pullen, PhD  |  February 4, 2019

Research has found age at disease onset has an impact on prognosis for patients with primary Sjögren’s syndrome. In the study, early onset primary Sjögren’s syndrome was associated with severe, systemic disease and development of lymphoproliferative disease…

Initial Sjögren’s Manifestations Can Go Beyond Dry Eyes & Mouth

Mohammad A. Ursani, MD, RhMSUS, & Jaecel Shah, MD  |  December 17, 2018

Primary Sjögren’s syndrome is a systemic autoimmune condition noted for findings of xerostomia, keratoconjunctivitis sicca and focal lymphocyte infiltrate in salivary glands.1 In the initial publications regarding keratoconjunctivitis sicca, Henrik Sjögren, a Swedish ophthalmologist, described a group of 19 women with dry eyes, some of whom had other organ dryness and inflammatory infiltrates.2,3 The syndrome…

2 Markers May Help Predict Who will Progress to Sjögren’s

Susan Bernstein  |  October 18, 2018

Physicians already know a great deal about Sjögren’s syndrome’s symptoms and potential complications, and a new study confirms data on two long-suspected predictors of progression (i.e., measurable phenotypic findings) that could show which patients are likely to progress to active disease: hypergamma­globulinemia and hypocomplementemia. Published in the February issue of Arthritis Care & Research, “Natural…

Collaborative Interventions Can Improve Sjögren Syndrome Patients’ Daily Lives

Carina Stanton  |  September 27, 2018

ICD-10 Code Change Proposed

From the College  |  September 24, 2018

On Sept. 12, the ACR and the Sjögren’s Syndrome Foundation presented an ICD-10 code change request for Sjögren’s syndrome to the ICD-10 Coordination and Maintenance Committee (C&M) at the CMS office in Baltimore. The request is intended to clarify ICD-10 M35.0: sicca syndrome [Sjögren]. Why Change the Code? The rationale behind this significant change request…

Epratuzumab May Work for SLE Subgroups

Larry Beresford  |  July 19, 2018

A recent analysis of the monoclonal antibody epratuzumab finds new evidence for its effectiveness in a subset of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients who have a concurrent diagnosis of Sjögren’s syndrome, a progressive autoimmune disease that affects exocrine glands and is characterized by dry eyes and mouth.1 Sjögren’s can be primary, meaning independent of other…

Sialendoscopy Enhances Salivary Flow in Sjogren’s Syndrome

Will Boggs MD  |  March 16, 2018

NEW YORK (Reuters Health)—Sialendoscopy with irrigation of the major salivary glands can enhance salivary flow and reduce xerostomia in patients with Sjogren’s syndrome, according to a randomized trial. “In our study it is suggested that patients with recent onset of Sjogren’s syndrome and with residual salivary gland capacity could benefit from sialendoscopy,” said Dr. Derk…
