Systemic lupus erythematosus: Renal involvement and prognosis.

Ir J Med Sci

Published: December 1979

In 20 cases of systemic lupus erythematosus the renal biopsy findings permitted morphological classification with features of prognostic value. Glomerulosclerosis and interstitial fibrosis correlated best with the clinical course. Renal involvement, with a 90% 5 year survival, may have less sinister implications for this population, in contrast with the poor prognosis reported in comparable series.

Purpose: This study aims to explore the relationship between autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs) and the risk of iridocyclitis (IC) using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.

Methods: Data of ankylosing spondylitis (AS), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), Behcet's disease (BD), and iridocyclitis were obtained from genome-wide association studies with large sample sizes. The instrumental variable utilized in this study for each exposure was the single nucleotide polymorphism.

Objective: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Sjögren disease (SjD) are autoimmune diseases with significant female predominance. The prevalence of SLE is increased in Klinefelter syndrome (KS) compared with the general male population. Our study investigates the dose effects of extra X chromosomes on the development of SLE and SjD in KS and triple X syndrome compared with the general population.

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Chinese Medicine Rheumatology of Zhejiang Province, Research Institute of Chinese Medical Clinical Foundation and Immunology, College of Basic Medical Science, Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, Hangzhou, China.

Background: SLE and ME/CFS both present significant fatigue and share immune dysregulation. The mechanisms underlying fatigue in these disorders remain unclear, and there are no standardized treatments. This study aims to explore shared mechanisms and predict potential therapeutic drugs for fatigue in SLE and ME/CFS.

Introduction: Anxiety and depression are common in patients with rheumatic diseases, but their impact across conditions like rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and primary Sjögren's disease (SjD) is still not well understood. This study aims to compare depression, anxiety, and fatigue, and their effects on disease activity and physical activity in these conditions.

Methods: From January 2019 to March 2021, patients with RA, primary SjD and SLE were assessed consecutively in a monocentric cross-sectional study at the rheumatology outpatient clinic of the Hannover Medical School.
