There are now many treatment options for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Choosing which options are best for each individual patient can be challenging, and it is often based on a patient's other comorbidities. In this session, three faculty will each present a difficult-to-treat RA case and available data pertaining to the situation. Talk topics include the treatment of RA in patients with interstitial lung disease, patients with treatment refractory RA, and RA in patients with liver disease. Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions after each case presentation. The session will end with an open-panel format discussion.
