British Journal of Dermatology, 190(4), 559-564. https://doi.org/10.1093/bjd/ljad430

Background: There is no evidence base to support the use of 6-monthly monitoring blood tests for the early detection of liver, blood and renal toxicity during established anti-tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) treatment. Objectives: To evaluate the...
