Arthritis At Home (+ On the Go)

Treatment approaches to cutaneous lupus for the rheumatologist


Listen Later

In this episode of Arthritis at Home, we are sharing the #CRArthriits interview with Dr. Victoria Werth. Dr. Werth presented at CRA RheumReview: Canadian Clinical Updates– a full-day virtual event that runs concurrently with the Canadian Rheumatology Association Annual Scientific Meeting and is designed to update rheumatologists on hot topics in arthritis research. She speaks with ACE’s Kelly Lendvoy about her session at RheumReview titled “Approach to Cutaneous Lupus for the Rheumatologist” and will review clinical findings of cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) and approaches to treatment.

In their conversation, Dr. Werth describes the importance of early diagnosis and testing for co-morbidities in patients with CLE. She also elaborates on the treatment options most commonly used for CLE and how patients should prepare for their treatment conversations with their health care providers.
