A review of the literature on the longterm use of methotrexate in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) showed that many questions on protocol remain unanswered. Although rheumatologists have adopted certain guidelines previously followed by dermatologists for psoriasis patients, rheumatology literature offers no set of rules for using the drug in treating patients with RA. The use of liver function tests and liver biopsy specimens to predict and assess hepatotoxicity associated with methotrexate use is also discussed.
一项关于甲氨蝶呤在类风湿关节炎(RA)患者中长期使用的文献综述表明,许多关于用药方案的问题仍未得到解答。尽管风湿病学家采用了皮肤科医生先前针对银屑病患者的某些指导原则,但风湿病学文献中并未提供在治疗RA患者时使用该药物的一套规则。文中还讨论了使用肝功能测试和肝活检标本预测和评估与甲氨蝶呤使用相关的肝毒性。
