Overview
On abdominal ultrasound, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) may present with hepatosplenomegaly, ascites, hyperecho-kidney tissue due to nephritis, and rarely cholecystitis. On synovial ultrasound, SLE may present with synovial effusions and synovitis. On echocardiography, SLE may present with decreased ejection fraction, cardiac wall motion abnormality, effusion pericarditis, and valve leaflet thickening.
Echocardiography
Main echocardiographic findings in SLE include:[1][2]

Ultrasound
Ultrasound can be used for the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus complications. It can also be used for screening and monitoring the disease activity during pregnancy.[3] The table below presents the main ultrasound findings regarding the organ system involvement in SLE:[4][5][6][7]
