#399 Wisely Ordering Autoantibodies - AC...

The Curbsiders Internal Medicine Podcast
About this episode
The ANA, anti-CCP, RF, and beyond!

We all have ‘rheum’ to grow when it comes to making sense of autoantibodies and common markers. We talk through the nuances with rheumatologist Dr. Matthew B. Carroll (biography here!). Our interview covers physical exam tips for inflammatory arthritis, basic interpretation of rheumatologic testing, and what to do with the dreaded ‘vaguely positive’ speckled ANA!
