Medical Therapy
Treatment goals in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) include:
- Ensure long-term survival
- Achieve the lowest possible disease activity
- Prevent organ damage
- Minimize drug toxicity
- Improve quality of life
General treatment
- Hydroxychloroquine: 200 to 400 mg daily as a single daily dose or in 2 divided doses.
- Generally, all patients with any type of SLE manifestation should be treated with hydroxychloroquine regardless of the severity of the disease.
The treatment choice for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is varied based on the severity of the disease and symptoms:
- Mild cases are defined as disease pattern with one or two organ involvement.
- Moderate cases are defined as more than 2 organ involvement during disease flares with low grade of involvement and complications or one or two organ involvement with more extensive involvements.
- Severe cases are defined as presentation of the disease with life threatening complications and multiple (more than 2) organ involvements.
