Department Of Medicine
Division Of Rheumatology
Head of Division: Professor Asgar Ali Kalla
Divisional Profile
The Division of Rheumatology has several research interests
relating to different aspects of the rheumatic diseases.
Osteoporosis is an area of interest for many years and
there is ongoing collection of longitudinal bone mineral
density data in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and
systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Age-related bone loss
at different skeletal sites is being prospectively studied in
collaboration with the Department of Nuclear Medicine
and the Endocrine Unit. Recently, collaborative studies with
the Division of Hepatology have been carried out to see
the relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) and
auto-immune hepatitis. Clinical drug trials are in progress
