Abstract: Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is the most common periodic fever syndrome, characterized by recurrent fever and serositis attacks. It has been shown that there might be an ongoing subclinical inflammation between attacks. Adrenomedullin (ADM) is synthesized in endothelium, and has been shown to have high levels in patients with inflammation such as FMF. Colchicine is the treatment of choice and given once or twice daily depending on expert opinion.
