Systemic lupus erythematosus treatment

The treatment of SLE depends on the patient's disease activity. If it is a simple skin, mucous membrane, joint and muscle disease, it is not necessary to use hormones, but if it is visceral involvement, it is recommended to use glucocorticoids to control the disease early. In addition, if the affected organs are more important, such as heart involvement, nervous system involvement, brain involvement, kidney involvement, it is recommended to use immunosuppressants early. If both drugs cannot be controlled, biological agents can be selected. Treatment with antimalarials is also an option where the patient has no contraindications.
