Does your patient have an existing autoimmune condition? Check for autoimmune type 1 diabetes!
Individuals living with other associated autoimmune diseases like celiac disease or autoimmune thyroid disease, are at an increased risk of developing autoimmune type 1 diabetes (T1D) and should be appropriately screened.1-6
Early detection of autoimmune type 1 diabetes could reduce the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis
Delay in screening for autoimmune type 1 diabetes (T1D) can increase the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at diagnosis—a critical complication that is potentially life-threatening and may result in long-term poor glycemic control and neurological complications.1,2 By identifying autoimmune T1D early, you can significantly lower the risk of DKA at diagnosis.3,4
Real-life stories from people living with autoimmune T1D
The progression of autoimmune type 1 diabetes (T1D) is gradual, often detectable months or even years before symptoms arise.1–3 Through proactive screening, we can identify the condition well in advance.3 Meet our ambassadors living with autoimmune T1D and discover the risk factors to look out for when considering who to screen.
Why choose PRALUENT®?
The usual starting dose for PRALUENT is 75 mg administered subcutaneously once every 2 weeks. Patients requiring larger LDL-C reduction (>60%) may be started on 150 mg once every 2 weeks, or 300 mg once every 4 weeks (monthly), administered subcutaneously.2
Prevent the Event
Despite major advances in our understanding of atherosclerosis, ASCVD remains the leading cause of death globally.1
Fabry disease
Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disease due to a defect in the gene encoding the lysosomal enzyme alpha-galactosidase A (α-Gal A), causing progressive cellular accumulation of the substrate globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) and globo-triaosylsphingosine (lyso-GL-3).
Cardiac involvement in Fabry disease
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in Fabry disease patients.1 Undiagnosed and untreated Fabry disease leads to progressive, irreversible, life-threatening heart injury.2,3
Renal involvement in Fabry disease
Think Fabry, think renal involvement that may present early in life and could go undetected.
