Summary
This study looks at whether measuring a protein called thrombomodulin in the blood can help doctors rule out giant cell arteritis (GCA) in people with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR). About 78 adults over 50 with PMR will give a blood sample before starting steroids. If the test works, it could reduce the need for imaging or biopsies in many patients.
