Early recognition of warning signs can help preventing the disease organ damages.
Prevention of complications during pregnancy
While most infants born to mothers who have SLE are healthy, pregnant mothers with SLE should remain under a doctor's care until delivery. Neonatal lupus is rare, but identification of mothers at highest risk for complications allows for prompt treatment before or after birth. In addition, SLE can flare during pregnancy, and proper treatment can maintain the health of the mother longer. Women pregnant and known to have the antibodies for anti-Ro (SSA) or anti-La (SSB) should have echocardiograms during the 16th and 30th weeks of pregnancy to monitor the health of the heart and surrounding vasculature.
- Decrease atherosclerotic events in patients
- Low doses of aspirin
- ACE inhibitors
- Statins
- For prevention and/or early diagnosis of malignancies:
- Regular age-related specific cancer screening recommended for the general population.
