Serum Calprotectin (S100A8/A9) in Diagnosis, Monitoring, and Prognosis of Rheumatic Diseases
Watch now
Serum calprotectin plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), as it triggers chemotaxis, phagocyte migration, and modulation of neutrophils and macrophages. Calprotectin has been found to correlate with disease activity, and may add additional information to that provided by conventional biomarkers such as C-reactive protein (CRP).
This webinar provides an overview of the many options for use of serum calprotectin in adult and pediatric patients suffering from autoinflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, Still’s disease, vasculitis, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).
Key learning objectives
- Discuss the role of calprotectin as a biomarker in pediatric rheumatic diseases
- Explain the clinical applications of calprotectin in diagnosis, monitoring, and prognosis
- Evaluate how serum calprotectin aids in the diagnosis, monitoring of disease activity, and differentiation between rheumatic diseases and other conditions, such as infections and fever of unknown origin
Who should attend?
Rheumatologists, pediatricians, immunologists, internal medicine, lab directors, and lab managers.
