- Remission is crucial for patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) prior to pregnancy due to its correlation with reduced adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs).
- A study of 96 pregnancies found that those who achieved clinical remission at conception had significantly lower APO rates compared to those who did not.
- The research indicates that serological activity does not strongly impact APO rates in pregnant patients already in clinical remission, and a glucocorticoid dosage of 7.5 mg/day or more at conception is associated with higher risks.
Background: Tacrolimus is one of the major treatment options for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and is considered to be a pregnancy-compatible medication. Since little is known about tacrolimus safety during pregnancy complicated by SLE, this study was designed.
Methods: We included SLE pregnant patients who were followed up at two Japanese tertiary referral centers.

This report presents changes in ultrasound findings during a monochorionic pregnancy with chorionic membrane folding (CMF). The patient was a 32-year-old woman, gravida 2 para 0.
