A member asked me to post the key to some common abbreviations we use when discussing Wegs. I figure we should start a thread dedicated to them, and maybe Andrew can make it a Sticky for other members to find it easily.

I'll start a few:

Ctx = cyclophosphamide/ cytoxan

Mtx = methotrexate

Rtx = rituximab/ rituxan

SS= subglottal stenosis

Dx = diagnosis

ESR/ SED = Sed rate/ Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate

CRP = C-reactive protein

WBC= white blood cell

RBC = red blood cell

BUN = blood urea nitrogen

RF= rheumatoid factor

RA = rheumatoid arthritis

AI = autoimmune

UA= urinalysis

US = ultrasound
