Kinetics of C-Reactive Protein in Giant Cell Arteritis Following Glucocorticoid Initiation: A Pilot Study (GIDEON)
Sponsor: University Hospital, Limoges
Summary
We propose to analyze the kinetics of the main marker of inflammation in GCA in order to understand its links with initial clinical manifestations and the possible appearance of complications and/or relapses. Early assessment of the rate of CRP normalization would enable us to adapt the therapeutic strategy in order to avoid complications and/or relapses.
