Background

  • Autoimmune disorder affecting all systems
  • Also consider drug induced lupus

Epidemiology

  • Female:Male 10:1
  • Peak in 20s-30s
  • More common in Black patients

Clinical Features

Typical "butterfly" malar rash.
Palatal ulcer in SLE
Subacute cutaneous SLE

SLICC Classification Criteria 2012 [1] Requirements: >4 of the following criteria (at least 1 clinical and 1 laboratory) OR biopsy proven lupus nephritis with positive ANA or Anti-dsDNA

  • Immunological criteria
    • ANA
    • Anti-dsDNA
    • Anti-Sm
    • Antiphospholipid antibody
    • Low complement C3, low C4
    • Direct Coombs' test in the absence of haemolytic anaemia

Organ system affected:

  • Dermatologic
    • Malar rash across bridge of nose
    • Discoid rash, erythematous with scale
  • Renal
    • Usually a nephritis
    • Can cause a glomerulonephrosis

Differential Diagnosis

Polyarthritis

Algorithm for Polyarticular arthralgia

Causes of Glomerulonephritis

Evaluation

Undiagnosed

  • CBC
  • Chem 10
  • Urine pregnancy
  • ANA
  • ESR
  • Urinalysis
  • Bedside echocardiography if ill or hypotensive
  • (Consider anti-DNA, anti-Smith, anti-Nuclear, anti-phospholipid, C3,C4, direct Coombs')

Flare

  • Bedside echo if ill or hypotensive
  • CBC
  • Chem
  • Urinalysis
  • Urine pregnancy
  • As directed by organ system involved

Drug Induced Lupus

Fever in SLE

  • Must differentiate disease activity (flare) from infection

Risk Factors for Infection [2]

Studies

  • CRP: sensitivity 100%, specificity 90% >1.35mg/dL [4]
  • PCT: sensitivity 75%, specificity 75% [5]

Management

Disposition

  • Suspected new diagnosis can have out patient workup if well appearing
  • Mild flairs can have expedited out patient management
  • Musculoskeletal symptoms can usually be managed as out patients
  • Chest pain requires urgent ACS evaluation
  • Infections usually require admission for antibiotics and systemic corticosteroids


Medication Dosing

Methylprednisolone 1-2mg/kg IV IV
