Q

how do you differentiate SLE from preeclampsia?

both have: HTN, proteinuria, and low platelets
Abnormal LFTS: rare in SLE, common in preeclampsia

sclerodactyly
digital pitting
bibasilar pulmonary fibrosis

43
Q

CREST

calcinosis
raynauds
esophageal dysmotility
sclerodactyly 
telangiectatsia

49
Q

Tx of raynauds

A
life style
CaCh blockers
topical nitrates
phosphodiesterase inhibitors
infusion of prostacyclin
