Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Study Finds Young Adults with Lupus at High Risk for Depression

Elizabeth Hofheinz, MPH, MEd   |  July 19, 2018

As if the fatigue, joint pain, etc., were not enough, new research has found many lupus patients must contend with clinical depression as well—something that can have a devastating cascade effect on other areas of their lives. Are adults with childhood-onset lupus at greater risk of depression than lupus patients with onset of disease during…

The Rate of Disability in Pediatric Patients with SLE

Richard Quinn  |  July 16, 2018

Recent research found 41% of pediatric patients with SLE are affected by at least mild disability, with higher pain scores correlating with increased disability. Mary Beth Son, MD, says determining how these children feel and what affects them daily is vital to “identifying targets we can hit as clinicians to improve their quality of life.”

Neutrophils & B Cells Create Unique Antibodies in Lupus Patients

Lara C. Pullen, PhD  |  July 11, 2018

NETs or LL37-DNA complexes may serve as future targets for SLE therapy. In a recent study, researchers identified a link between neutrophils and NETs, and the activation of self-reactive B cells. Their study describes a neutrophil-B cell interaction unique to lupus…

Lupus & Cognitive Dysfunction: No Apparent Link to Inflammation

Lara C. Pullen, PhD  |  June 27, 2018

Does cognitive dysfunction in SLE patients result from persistent inflammation characterized by ongoing disease activity? Recent research examining this question found no inflammatory mechanism associated with cognitive dysfunction in this patient population, underscoring previous research findings…

Understanding & Treating Neonatal Lupus

Thomas R. Collins  |  June 21, 2018

CHICAGO—Neonatal lupus is a rare disorder, but its onset can be dramatic, and it can be fatal. Clinicians must be armed with information to manage it and help guide parents through difficult decisions, an expert said in April at the State-of-the-Art Clinical Symposium. Despite the name, neonatal lupus does not mean that either the mother…

Precision Medicine for Lupus Continues to Progress

Thomas R. Collins  |  June 21, 2018

CHICAGO—The promise of precision medicine—the tailoring of treatment to a given patient based on genetics and other factors—has probably been best illustrated in oncology, with therapies targeted specifically to markers expressed on tumors. But rheumatology is in the thick of precision medicine as well, said Judith James, MD, PhD, chair of the arthritis and clinical…

Is Chemical Exposure Linked to DNA Methylation Dysregulation in SLE Patients?

Carina Stanton  |  June 5, 2018

Could your lupus patients benefit from limiting exposure to chemicals at home and in the medical environment? It’s a strong possibility, according to the preliminary findings of a research team investigating DNA methylation disruption in patients with SLE…

Insight into the Downregulation of NK Cells in SLE Patients

Lara C. Pullen, PhD  |  June 4, 2018

New research suggests the downregulation of CD3ζ contributes to the altered function of NK cells in SLE patients, which may contribute to the increased risk of viral infections in these patients…

Antiplatelet Therapy May Protect Renal Function in Some Lupus Patients

Lara C. Pullen, PhD  |  May 29, 2018

New research suggests that antiplatelet therapy may improve the estimated glomerular filtration rate in lupus anticoagulant-positive patients with lupus nephritis. Researchers found these patients had a higher eGFR level after three years than lupus anticoagulant-positive patients who did not receive antiplatelet therapy…

Case Report: Refractory Calciphylaxis in Lupus

Joey Kim, MD, Navneet Kaur, MD, Phillip Zhang, MD, & Irene Blanco, MD, MS  |  May 17, 2018

Calciphylaxis is a poorly understood and life-threatening ischemic vasculopathy characterized by calcification of the small- and medium-size arteries in the skin, subcutaneous tissue and internal organs, which leads to thrombosis, tissue necrosis and painful skin ulcerations that won’t heal. The disease has a 50–80% mortality rate. Although affected patients typically have end-stage renal disease (ESRD)…
