What is proven in the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus?

© 2023. The Author(s)..

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with variable clinical presentation and organ involvement. Early diagnosis and rapid achievement of low disease activity or remission reduces organ damage and improves prognosis. Therapeutic principles can be divided into so-called basic measures and immunosuppressive treatment. Novel drugs have been developed in recent years, with new classes of agents being added for the treatment of SLE. These include biologic therapies and approved therapeutic options for the treatment of lupus nephritis. In light of improved treatment options, good disease control can now frequently be achieved; with savings on glucocorticoids, combination therapies are increasingly being used. Of great importance is the consistent use of basic measures, which include the use of hydroxychloroquine, optimization of cardiovascular risk factors, UV protection, bone-protective measures, and the implementation of vaccinations. In the treatment of lupus nephritis, conservative therapeutic measures for nephroprotection play a crucial role in renal prognosis. Finally, non-pharmacological therapy options such as exercise therapy are of great importance for improving quality of life.
