Do Muscle Enzyme Changes Forecast Liver Injury in Polymyositis/Dermatomyositis Patients Treated with Methylprednisolone and Methotrexate?
CK level was the most sensitive index of PM/DM and was highly correlated with other serum muscle enzyme levels. An equation capable of predicting potential liver damage according to the correlation of CK and ALT was produced.
Low levels of hemoglobin glycosylation (A1C <8%) during the pretreatment, treatment, and posttreatment periods are associated with a regression of proliferative diabetic retinopathy after PRP.
