The effect of lupus disease on the pregnant women and embryos: a retrospective study from 2010 to 2014.

Background And Aims: Pregnancy in women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is one of the challenges of recent studies. Women should prevent the onset of relapses with medications before and after pregnancy, and on the other hand, the effect of these medicines considers the health and development of the fetus. In this retrospective study, the effects of anti-phospholipid syndrome and the use of common drugs such as methotrexate, cyclosporine, and azathioprine and their side effects on maternal health and ultimately the development of the fetus have been investigated.
