Phillip Ge presented an excellent case of Sjogren’s disease
yesterday, complicated by cirrhosis and variceal bleed. Please see his
excellent presentation, especially some of his slides on management of variceal
bleed that we didn’t have time to discuss!
Key take away points:
- Sjogren’s has a wide spectrum of neurological symptoms, including mononeuritis multiplex
- Treatment for Sjogren’s is symptomatic, unless there are extraglandular manifestations
- Steroids
- Cyclophosphamide
- Rituxan (rituximab)
- Epratuzumab (anti-CD22 mAb)
