Overview
There is no established method for the primary prevention of systemic lupus erythematosus.
Primary Prevention
There is no established method for prevention of systemic lupus erythematosus. However, preventing exposure to the risk factors listed below, especially flare-up-related risk factors, can help to decrease flare-up episodes or may even be helpful in SLE prevention:
- Preventing exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light
- Cigarette smoking cessation[1]
- Prevent working in crystalline silica work environment (e.g., cleaning powders, soil, pottery materials, cement, etc.) [2]
- Prevent caring for a pet (especially a dog)
Protection
Moderate alcohol drinking may be protective for SLE.[3]
