When do you see patients back from lab work?

Psoriasis

In our clinic, we see patients back probably after the first month, after the loading dose, and again and in six months or a year. In terms of getting their follow up labs, we do a yearly PPD. In terms of tb testing, we probably do more biologic testing in a year. The real goal is to make sure they're stable because we know the endpoint, a lot of the biologics is not on their spleen, the liver, or the kidney. So there really is little in terms of immeasurable impact on the endorgans. I think more so we do that to make sure we're not missing anything like leukemia or any other kidney problems.
