Autoimmune inflammatory myopathy biomarkers

Clin Chim Acta. 2024 Jan 2:117742. doi: 10.1016/j.cca.2023.117742. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe autoimmune inflammatory myopathy disease spectrum, commonly known as myositis, is a group of systemic diseases that mainly affect the muscles, skin and lungs. Biomarker assessment helps in understanding disease mechanisms, allowing for the implementation of precise strategies in the classification, diagnosis, and management of these diseases. This review examines the pathogenic mechanisms and highlights current data on blood and tissue biomarkers of autoimmune inflammatory myopathies.PMID:38176522 | DOI:10.1016/j.cca.2023.117742
