Usage of C-Reactive Protein Testing in the Diagnosis and Monitoring of Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA): Results from a Real-World Survey in the USA and Europe

Abstract

CRP was more commonly used for the diagnosis and monitoring of PsA in Europe compared to the USA and was more commonly ordered by rheumatologists than dermatologists. In the absence of a better serum biomarker of inflammation, more data are needed to understand how CRP testing should be used in the diagnosis and management PsA.
