IN THE NAME OF GOD. SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSIS (SLE). DEFINITION. Autoimmune Multisystem disease Autoantibodies and immune complexes. EPIDEMIOLOGY. Women of child-bearing years (90%) Most common age at onset: second and third decade All ages and ethnic groups Both sexes
E N D
DEFINITION • Autoimmune • Multisystem disease • Autoantibodies and immune complexes
EPIDEMIOLOGY • Women of child-bearing years (90%) • Most common age at onset: second and third decade • All ages and ethnic groups • Both sexes • Prevalence in US 10-400/100,000 • Prevalence in Iran 30/100,000
PATHOGENESIS Predisposition Susceptibility Genes Induction Autoimmunity Expansion Injury Clinical Disease
GENETIC BASIS • Twins: • Monozygotic 57% • Dizygotic 5% • Familial aggregation: • First degree relative 12% • HLA: DR2, DR3 • C1q, C2, C4
ENVIRONMENTAL • Ultraviolet B light • Sex hormones • Estrogen • Androgen • Infectious agent • Drug
Apoptosis T-cell Macrophages
Apoptosis SM Ro/ss-a DNA
Apoptosis T-cell Macrophages
Apoptosis B cell T-cell Macrophages
PATHOGENESIS • UV Flare of SLE in 70% of patients • Infections: • Induce B and T cells Recognize self Ag Auto Ab • EBV: - More common in SLE patients - Activate B cell - Amino acid sequences Mimic some on DNA
PATHOGENESIS • Female: • Ab responses than male • OCP & HRT: Risk of SLE (1.2-2 fold) • Estradiol T & B cell Activation & Survival Prolonged immune response Bind to
Genetic Complement activity Environmental Factors Immune comlexes Apoptosis Phagocytosis Auto antigen Apoptotic Material Auto antibody Immunogenic Ag DC T cell CD4 B cell
CLINICAL MANIFESTATION • ANY ORGAN CAN BE AFFECTED
SYSTEMIC MANIFESTATION • Fatigue, Malaise, Fever, Anorexia, Weight loss 95%
MUSCULOSKELETAL • Polyarthritis (95%) • Most patients • Hands, Wrists, Knees • Deformity 10% • Erosion Rare • Weakness (25%) • Myositis • Glucocorticoid • Antimalaria
SYSTEMIC MANIFESTATION Pain persist in a single joint Ischemic necrosis of bone
CUTANEOUS • Butterfly rash (50%): - Most common - Flare
CUTANEOUS • Discoid rash (DLE) (20%)
RENAL • Nephritis (50%): • Most serious manifestation • U/A: any person with suspected SLE • Class III or IV: - Microscopic hematuria - Proteinuria (> 500 mg/24h) - HTN
HEMATOLOGIC • Anemia (70%) • Chronic disease • Hemolytic • Leukopenia (65%) • Lymphopenia • Infection: rare • Not require therapy • Thrombocytopenia (15%)
PULMONARY • Pluritis (30%) - Most common • Interstitial inflammation • Pulmonary hemorrhage
CARDIAC • Pericarditis (30%) • Myocarditis (10%) • Endocarditis (10%) • Valvular insufficiencies • Libman-Sacks • Ischemia
VASCULAR • Risk of vascular events 7-10 fold • TIA, Strok, MI • Causes: • APS • Embolization - Carotid plaque - Libman-Sacks • Vasculitis • Atherosclerosis
GASTROINTESTINAL • Peritonitis • Vasculitis
OCULAR • Sicca • Conjunctivitis • Retinal vasculitis • Optic neuritis
NERVOUS SYSTEM • Central • Peripheral • Other causes
ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID SYNDROM • Risk of - Clotting (arterial or venous) - Fetal loss • Tests: - Anticardiolipin - Lupus anticoagulant
ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID SYNDROM • High titer of IgG ACL - Risk of clotting • Diagnosis: - One clinical - One test (repeated 12w apart)
AUTOANTIBODIES • Most patients 3 y or more before symptom
AUTOANTIBODIES • FANA: • Prevalence: 98% • Best screaming test • Anti-dsDNA: • Prevalence: 70% • Specific (high titer) • Correlate with disease activity
AUTOANTIBODIES • Anti-Sm: - Prevalence: 25% - Specific - No clinical correlation • Anti-Ro (SS-A): - Sicca, Neonatal lupus, Nephritis • Antiphospholipid: - 50% - Criteria and APS syndrome
PATHOLOGY • Class I: Mesangial lupus nephritis - LM: NL - IF: Mesangial deposit • Class II: Mesangial prolipherative
PATHOLOGY • Class III: Focal proliferative • Class IV: Diffuse proliferative • Class: V: Membranous • Class: VI: Sclerotic
DIAGNOSIS • Malar rash • Discoid rash • Oral ulcer • Photosensitivity
DIAGNOSIS • Arthritis: • Nonerosive • ≥ 2 or more peripheral joints • Serositis: • Pleuritis or pericarditis • Renal: • Proteinuria > 500 mg or ≥ 3+, or cellular casts
DIAGNOSIS • Neurologic: • Seizures or psychosis without other causes • Hematologic: • Hemolytic anemia or • Leukopenia (< 4000) or • Lymphopenia (< 1500) or • Thrombocytopenia (< 100,000)
DIAGNOSIS • Immunologic disorder: • Anti-dsDNA, anti-Sm, antiphospholipid • Antinuclear antibodies: • By immunofluorescence
DIAGNOSIS • Criteria for classification • ≥ 4 criteria • Specificity: 95% • Sensitivity: 75%
DRUG-INDUCED LUPUS • Milder • Rarely renal or CNS involvement • Drugs: hydralazine, procainamid… • Positive ANA and Anti histone but rarely Anti-dsDNA • Reversible
TREATMENT • No cure • Patients education • Prophylactic measures: • Sunscreen • Low dose aspirin for antiphospholipid Ab positive • Routine immunization
TREATMENT • Glucocorticoids: - For almost any manifestation • Immunomodulating agents: - Antimalaria Fever, Arthritis, Cutaneous Prevents flare - Azathioprine - Mycophenolate mofetile - Cyclophosphamide
CORSE • Range from mild to sever diseases • Survival: - 95% at 5y and 78% at 20y • Causes of death: - First decade: disease activity, Renal, Infection - After: Thromboembolic • Critical: - Nephritis, Cerebritis, Pulmonary hemorrhage, Hematologic, Carditis
