Implications of Antiphospholipid and Antineutrophilic Cytoplasmic Antibodies in the Context of Postinfectious Glomerulonephritis. [PDF]

, 2017
While antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) positivity has been documented in some patients with postinfectious glomerulonephritis (PIGN) and is associated with more severe disease, antiphospholipid antibodies (APA) are not known to be a common ...

Differences in Dynamics of Specific Antinuclear Antibodies and Their Susceptibility to B Cell–Targeting Treatment in Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The presence of antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) is characteristic for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Antibody dynamics over time are thought to reflect the cellular source of ANAs and their therapeutic targetability. Anti–double‐stranded DNA (anti‐dsDNA) is the most prevalent and well‐studied of all ANAs, and fluctuations in anti‐dsDNA ...

Hand Swelling and Other Non–Raynaud Phenomenon Symptoms as the Initial Presentation of Systemic Sclerosis: Prevalence and Clinical Associations in Two US Cohorts

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Raynaud phenomenon (RP) is often the initial clinical manifestation of systemic sclerosis (SSc), but some patients develop other manifestations first. To help elucidate the diversity of SSc presentation in its early stages, we describe the initial clinical manifestations and antinuclear antibody (ANA) profiles of patients in two early SSc ...

Antiphospholipid Syndrome: An Antibody‐Mediated Disease With Emerging Therapeutic Opportunities

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune thromboinflammatory disease characterized by vascular thrombosis, pregnancy morbidity, and other manifestations driven by antiphospholipid autoantibodies. In this review, we present a clinical case that illustrates some diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in managing severe, relapsing APS ...

Autoantibody response towards chromatin in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients frequently exhibit antinuclear antibodies (ANAs), but the specific antigen target recognized by them and the presence of additional autoantibody specificities in JIA patients remains elusive. Methods Plasma samples from 110 untreated patients with active JIA, as well as from 14 children with ...

Differences in IgG Sialylation Distinguish Asymptomatic from Symptomatic Anti‐Nuclear Antibody Positive Individuals

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective The transition from asymptomatic anti‐nuclear antibody (ANA) positivity to systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease (SARD) is associated with increased production of pro‐inflamamtory factors such as TNF‐α. Here we investigate whether the relative absence of inflammation in asymptomatic ANA+ individuals (ANA+NS) results from a lack of circulating
