    Rheumatology 6: Systemic Sclerosis (Rapid Review)

    Fire up this Rapid Review sprint on Systemic Sclerosis from the Evidence at the Bedside team. We use rapid-fire active recall to cement the exact autoantibody associations, medication rules, and high-yield systemic complications you need to know for the boards. Rapid Review Highlights: Antibody Matching: Actively recalling that anti-Scl-70 strongly correlates with diffuse disease and interstitial lung disease, whereas anti-centromere antibodies strongly correlate with limited disease and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Scleroderma Renal Crisis: Cementing the critical board rule that ACE inhibitors (like captopril) must be initiated and titrated to control blood pressure in scleroderma renal crisis, even if the serum creatinine is actively rising. Glucocorticoid Danger: Rapidly identifying that the use of high-dose glucocorticoids (greater than 15 mg/day) is a major risk factor for precipitating scleroderma renal crisis. ILD Management: Remembering that mycophenolate mofetil is the preferred first-line agent for the treatment of systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease. Gastrointestinal Clues: Recognizing that gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE), also known as "watermelon stomach," is a classic cause of GI bleeding in patients with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis. Test your diagnostic knowledge, identify your blind spots, and crush the rheumatology section of your exams! #ABIM #InternalMedicine #ITEPrep #RapidReview #Rheumatology #Scleroderma #BoardReview #EvidenceAtTheBedside
