MAS pathogenesis advances: ferritin and IL-18 as predictive markers

Adult-Onset Still's Disease

Summary

Multicenter studies clarified the pathogenesis of MAS in AOSD, showing that high systemic scores and ferritin levels independently predict MAS occurrence. The overlap between AOSD flare and incipient MAS was characterized, with falling fibrinogen and paradoxical ferritin trajectories proposed as early warning signals.
