43F Cushing's, Polyarthritis RA 5 months, exfoliating dermatitis 3 months Telangana PaJR:  Rakesh Biswas Sir GM Hod Kims: Carpal erosions +

Treat as RA 

Tab Naproxen (check renal function to titrate dose ) 

Tab Prednisolone 10 mg once daily 

Tablet Methotrexate 7.5 mg weekly ( check LFT and CBC for dose titration

Rakesh Biswas Sir GM Hod Kims: This is the cause for her anasarca! 

What's the cause for her hypoalbuminemia? 

24 hour urinary protein and creatinine?

Today's image of the LFT here shows albumin as 2.0! When did it decrease by 1? Very fast? Navyatha  : We are starting 24 hr upcr from tomorrow morning sir

Navyatha : Cue has shown nil proteinuria on both occasions sir

[Rakesh Biswas Sir GM Hod Kims: 

Then more likely to be liver failure (check prothrombin time) or acute inflammatory negative phase reactant(check the rate of serum albumin fall by checking the albumin trends beforw and after admission)?

 Rakesh Biswas Sir GM Hod Kims: 

So came down by 1 in last 10 days! What's the rate of fall of albumin as a negative acute phase reactant in acute inflammatory states?‎[

Navyatha : 

Spot upcr sir

Rakesh Biswas Sir GM Hod Kims: 

By exclusion and association :

The only explanation for her severe hypoalbuminemia is the negative acute phase reaction in response to her current embodied inflammation

‎ Navyatha : 

She is not having any fever spikes or burning micturition and she is using topical fusidic acid for her skin fissures sir do we add any other antibiotic sir derma people were asking about prophylactic antibiotic as pt is started on steroids and open skin surface sir

 Rakesh Biswas Sir GM Hod Kims: 

No antibiotics without any signs of sepsis necessary. 

In fact the tests were unnecessary

 Rakesh Biswas Sir GM Hod Kims: 

Share her case report link in the description box asap

Navyatha : 

Can we treat this as psoriatic arthritis then sir?

 Navyatha : 

Shall we stop low dose prednisolone sir ?

What is the treatment of psoriatic arthritis and it's efficacy. Mention each drug efficacy in a pico format
