Glucocorticoids in RA

David S. Pisetsky, MD, PhD  |  November 7, 2023

The historical & continuing roles of glucocorticoids in the treatment of RA are discussed. 

Glucocorticoid Use at Any Dose Increases Fracture Risk

Arthritis & Rheumatology  |  September 26, 2023

The accepted wisdom is that the negative effects of glucocorticoids on bone depend on the dose and treatment duration. Adami et al. conducted this study to determine, in a real-life setting, the risk of fragility fracture associated with the dose of glucocorticoids in patients with inflammatory rheumatic musculoskeletal diseases.

RheumMadness 2023: The Results Are In

David L. Leverenz, MD, MEd  |  September 11, 2023

RheumMadness is an online tournament in which a bracket of teams, representing key learning concepts in rheumatology, compete against each other in a series of head-to-head matchups, much like basketball teams in the NCAA’s March Madness. The 2023 tournament theme was The All Star Season. Each team represented one all star article competing to be…

Glucocorticoid Use May Result in Loss of Bone Mineral Density

Michele B. Kaufman, PharmD, BCGP  |  March 8, 2023

Adami et al. examined the fracture risk associated with glucocorticoid treatment in women with inflammatory rheumatic musculoskeletal diseases, finding that low-dose glucocorticoid use may result in significant bone mineral density loss in patients who are not on anti-osteoporotic drugs.

Glucocorticoids May Decrease White Matter Integrity & Change Gray Matter Volume

Samantha C. Shapiro, MD  |  February 27, 2023

Van der Meulen et al. found the use of both systemic and inhaled glucocorticoids is associated with changes in several brain imaging parameters, including decreased white matter integrity and gray matter volume. Study patients also reported more depressive symptoms and tiredness than controls.

Updated Guideline Introduces Recommendations for Prevention & Treatment of Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis

From the College  |  October 10, 2022

ATLANTA—The ACR released a summary of its updated guideline for the Prevention and Treatment of Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis in September. Many patients take glucocorticoids for a variety of inflammatory conditions, and anyone who is taking glucocorticoid medications and has other risk factors for osteoporosis increases their risk of developing glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. New osteoporosis medications and new…

A Young Disease: A Holistic Approach to the Treatment of Antiphospholipid Syndrome

Samantha C. Shapiro, MD  |  September 8, 2022

Although progress has been made in recent years, rheumatologists still have a lot of questions regarding best management practices for antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). During a session of EULAR 2022, Ricard Cervera, MD, PhD, described a holistic approach.

Clinical Challenges in SLE: Glucocorticoids—How Much Is Too Much?

Samantha C. Shapiro, MD  |  July 22, 2022

Glucocorticoids remain a prominent part of care for many patients with SLE but can have toxic side effects; this EULAR 2022 session discussed one institution’s approach to lower the dosage.

Improving Bone Mineral Density: Risedronate vs. Denosumab

Michele B. Kaufman, PharmD, BCGP  |  March 2, 2022

Treatment with denosumab for patients with RA and glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis led to greater increases in bone mineral density of the lumbar spine and hips of patients than treatment with risedronate.

How Do Reduced-Dose Glucocorticoids Plus Rituximab Affect ANCA-Associated Vasculitis?

Lara C. Pullen, PhD  |  October 13, 2021

Furuta et al. evaluated the benefits of reducing glucocorticoid doses during remission induction for patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis. The researchers found a reduced-dose-glucocorticoid-plus-rituximab regimen was noninferior to a regimen of high-dose glucocorticoids plus rituximab in these patients.
