While the incidence of SLE and lupus nephritis remained stable over the study period (19992013), prevalence increased.

The T-cell receptor binds to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) portion of the APC, which may lead to cytokine release, inflammation, and B-cell stimulation.12 Stimulation of B-cell division and the production of immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibodies that can cause tissue damage also occur in SLE.12,1519 Unlike the situation in healthy adults, autoantigen-specific T cells and B cells may also interact and produce harmful autoantibodies.12,20, Many of the autoantibodies identified in SLEthe antinuclear antibodies (ANAs)target nuclear components of cells.

Large-scale mortality gap between SLE and control population is associated with increased infection-related mortality in lupus. Guidelines for referral and management of systemic lupus erythematosus in adults. One study revealed concordance rates of 14% to 57% in identical twins sharing the same trait; a second study showed an incidence rate of 24% to 58%.2729 In another study of non-identical twins, concordance rates of 3% to 10% were documented.29, The investigation of a genetic influence on SLE has led to the discovery of a number of gene variants linked to SLE expression.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is the prototypical systemic autoimmune disease with a significant disease burden across the world among different ethnic, racial and age groups. During the process of cellular death, pieces of cellular material form on the surface of the dying cell. Patients with SLE have higher titers of antibodies to EBV.40 Smoking, silica, and some hair products (e.g., dyes) may also be possible triggers of lupus. Unlike that of idiopathic SLE, the incidence of DIL is similar among men and women; the disease primarily affects patients of advanced age.3,63, The exact cause of DIL is unknown, but genetics are believed to be involved. An increased prevalence of EpsteinBarr virus infection in young patients suggests a possible etiology for systemic lupus erythematosus. Leuchten, N. et al. Lupus 20, 13291335 (2011). Common clinical presentations involve the heart, liver, and skin.

Article A common cause of late mortality related to SLE is an accelerated atherosclerosis that is associated with either the disease or the treatment.9, SLE is a chronic disease that affects various organ systems, primarily as a consequence of the formation and deposition of autoantibodies and immune complexes, leading to eventual organ damage. Ingvarsson RF, Bengtsson AA, Jnsen A. Dis. Mok CC, Lau CS. LinkedIn is the world's largest business network, helping professionals like Thomas Annet discover inside connections to recommended job candidates, industry experts, and business partners. Klinefelters syndrome, which features an extra X chromosome in males, is linked to an elevated incidence of SLE, thereby providing further support for the association between SLE and a possible hormonal pathogenesis.50, The presentation of SLE can be complex, considering the number of organ systems that can be affected by the disease. FOIA Monogenic Lupus. Other examples of ANAs are the anti-Ro and anti-La antibodies that, when detected during pregnancy, have been linked to fetal heart damage as well as the anti-Smith (Sm) antibodies, which are a marker of kidney disease.2224, A second grouping of autoantibodies targets the phospholipid moiety of the prothrombin activator complex as well as cardiolipin. Rheumatol. Rheumatol. Baseline and monthly monitoring (e.g., laboratory tests, ultrasonography, fetal surveillance tests, maternal echocardiography, and antibody testing) should be performed for all pregnant lupus patients, because signs and symptoms of lupus flares may be similar to those typical of pregnancy.92 Neonates should be carefully evaluated for placental transfer of maternal antibodies, which could lead to cutaneous or cardiac complications (e.g., congenital heart block and cardiomyopathy).93. doi: 10.2196/44660.

Hyperactive B cells, resulting from T-cell and antigen stimulation, increase the production of these antibodies against antigens that are exposed on the surface of apoptotic cells.12, The antigens causing T-cell and B-cell stimulation in patients with SLE can be attributed to the inappropriate disposal of apoptotic cells. Such data are currently lacking because of potential obstacles, such as differing case definitions, small-source populations, and varying demographic group targets.47, SLE is more common in women, particularly those of child-bearing age.

Cardiovascular effects often include pericarditis, myocarditis, endocarditis, and coronary artery disease.52,53 It has been theorized that certain drugs used to treat SLE (e.g., immunosuppressants and corticosteroids) are risk factors for coronary artery disease in SLE patients along with the traditional risk factors observed in the general population.52, Signs of gastrointestinal involvement include nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Epidemiology and burden of systemic lupus erythematosus in a Southern European population: data from the community-based lupus registry of Crete, Greece. Demographics and laboratory test . Procainamide (e.g., Pronestyl, Bristol-Myers Squibb) and hydralazine (e.g., Apresoline, Novartis), although not frequently used today, have been commonly associated with DIL.67,68 Penicillamine (e.g., Cuprimine, Merck), minocycline (Minocin Wyeth/Pfizer), isoniazid (formerly Nydrazid, no longer available in the U.S.), methyldopa (e.g., Aldomet, Merck), and antitumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) agents have also been linked to DIL. This Review focuses primarily on the past 5 years of global epidemiological studies and discusses the regional incidence and prevalence of SLE and top causes of mortality.
