Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhage (DAH) is an uncommon and potentially life-threatening occurrence in systemic lupus erythematous (SLE), involving bleeding into the alveolar space caused by the disruption of the alveolar-capillary basement membrane. We present a 24-year-old Persian woman with a complaint of progressively worsening shortness of breath following the administration of intramuscular-Rhogam after 3 days. According to her worsening clinical condition, the pregnancy was terminated.

The synthesis process was based on a multi-step hydrometallurgical approach, in which the aluminum content in the waste was first converted to sodium aluminate. This was followed by the transformation into Fe-Al LDH through a series of processes, including gelation, sol formation, simultaneous precipitation, and aging.

However, commonly used markers such as CRP and ESR, along with the DAS-28 score, have shown limitations. Hematologic indices, such as platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMR), and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), show potential as reliable indicators of inflammation in RA.
