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

Laboratory Practices for the Detection and Characterization of Cryoglobulins and Cryofibrinogen

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
This study shows the importance of carrying out the search for both cryoproteins, cryoglobulins, and cryofibrinogen in cases of strong clinical suspicion of cryoproteinemia, despite their complex but not impossible detection. Use of correct procedures from the pre‐preanalytical phase up to reporting, of alternative methods such as immunotyping and the ...

Predictors of systemic sclerosis patients with interstitial lung disease progression: A retrospective study

Rheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
The final systemic sclerosis patients with interstitial lung disease (SSc‐ILD) progression prediction model was composed of 6 significant risk factors: male, type 2 diabetes mellitus, pericardial effusion, anti‐Ro52, hypoproteinemia, and elevated C‐reactive protein. Our model demonstrated excellent prognostic utility.
