Abstract

Clinical Practise Guidelines for the Treatment of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Author(s): Clare E Parwani

There are clinical practise recommendations for treating systemic lupus erythematosus on both a national and international level. However, the majority of them are either not intended for the Mexican population or are exclusively focused on treating specific disease presentations, such as lupus nephritis, or are intended for a particular physiological state, such as pregnancy. The Mexican College of Rheumatology sought to develop clinical practise guidelines that included the majority of SLE symptoms as well as those related to contentious topics like vaccination and the perioperative period. In the following document, the “The Mexican College of Rheumatology has proposed "Clinical Practise Guidelines for the Treatment of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus," which could be helpful primarily for physicians who are not rheumatologists but must treat patients with systemic lupus erythematosus but lack the necessary education in rheumatology. The reader will find advice on the management of general, articular, renal, cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, hematologic, and gastrointestinal symptoms as well as advice on vaccination and treatment management during the perioperative period in these guidelines. Introduced in the document.
