Learning objectives • To highlight the natural history of SLE • To develop a clinical approach to patient suspected to have SLE • To define your therapeutic strategies to each SLE patient based upon activity, severity, organ damage, and comorbidities

The 4 D’s clinical approach • Diagnostic workup • Disease activity assessment • Damage assessment • Design treatment goals
Diagnostic workup • No gold standard test • Clinical reasoning • Classification criteria
Diagnostic workup • Identify disease manifestations • Perform Lab. Tests • Exclude other diseases • Distinguish activity from chronicity • Prioritize active disease manifestations
Lupus mimickers • Dermatological conditions: Rosocea, dermatitis • Chronic autoimmune disorders: sjogrens, MCTD , JIA • Vasculitis either primary or secondary to infection (Hep C, parvovirus B19 ,HIV, EB virus) or malignancy • Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease • Multiple Sclerosis
Case presentation • A 25-year-old woman. Her disease manifestations consists of : • Fatigue • Hemolytic anemia • ANA + • Anti-Sm + • C3,C4,CH50 Low
1971 ACR criteria for classification of SLE Any of four or more criteria should be present , serially or simultaneously
1982 revised classification criteria Any of four or more criteria should be present , serially or simultaneously
1997 Revised classification criteria Any of four or more criteria should be present , serially or simultaneously
2012-SLICC* classification criteria At least 1 clinical +at least 1 immunologic Criteria ( for a total of4) OR Lupus Nephritis by biopsy with ANA or anti-dsDNA antibodies *Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics Petri M et al. Arthritis Rheum 2012;64(8):2677-86
2012-SLICC classification criteria Lupus specific
Acute Cutaneous / Subacute Cutaneous Lupus • Malar rash • Bullous lupus • Toxic epidermal necrolysis • Maculopapular lupus rash • Photosensitive lupus rash • Nonindurated psoriasiform • Annular polycyclic rash
Chronic Cutaneous Lupus • Discoid rash, localized & generalized • Hypertrophic ( verrucous ) lupus • Lupus panniculitis ( profundus ) • Lupus erythematosus tumidis • Chilblains lupus • Mucosal lupus • Lichen planus overlap
Performance of the classifications as compared to the current ACR criteria on the sample based on 702 cases* *Petri M et al. Arthritis Rheum. 2012;64(8): 2677
Case presentation • A 25-year-old woman. Her disease manifestations consists of : • Fatigue • Hemolytic anemia • ANA + • Anti-Sm + • C3,C4,CH50 Low

The 4 D’s clinical approach • Diagnostic workup • Disease activity assessment • Damage assessment • Design treatment goals
Disease activity assessment • Which instrument to choose? • SLEDAI ,BILAG ,SLAM, ECLAM, SRI • Activity, severity, reversibility SELENA-SLEDAI
SLEDAI • Evaluates 24 lupus manifestations • Parameters are scored √ if present • Manifestation items are weighted with scores ranging from 1 to 8 • Scores are totaled • Mild: 0-5 • Moderate: 6-12 • Severe: 13-20 Bombardier C et al. Arthritis Rheum. 1992; 35:630-640
The 4 D’s clinical approach • Diagnostic workup • Disease activity assessment • Damage assessment • Design treatment goals
Damage assessment • Which instrument to choose? • SLICC/ACR damage index • Chronicity, damage, irreversibility
SLICC/ACR damage Index • Validated & used in clinical trails • Records damage in 12 organs or systems • The damage must present in the last 6 month • High damage index correlate with poor prognosis
SLICC/ACR damage Index Damage (nonreversible change, not related to active inflammation) occurring since onset of lupus, ascertained by clinical assessment and present for at least 6 months unless otherwise stated. Repeat episodes must occur at least 6 months apart to score 2. The same lesion cannot be scored twice.

The 4 D’s clinical approach • Diagnostic workup • Disease activity assessment • Damage assessment • Design treatment goals
Design treatment goals • Do good Control disease activity Prevent organ damage Prevent flares • Do no harm Safety profile Drugs Drugs related damage
