Research Article: Association of clinical, imaging and laboratory parameters with adverse effects of glucocorticoid therapy in patients with giant cell arteritis
Abstract:
Background: Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is characterized by inflammation of large and medium vessels. First-line therapy for the treatment of GCA are glucocorticoids, which are effective while potential adverse effects should be considered, especially during long-term use. The aim was to investigate the incidence of glucocorticoids’ adverse effects and potential predictors for them.
