What is the principle of treating systemic lupus erythematosus

Because of systemic lupus erythematosus disease, clinical manifestations complex, should be a reasonable use of the following types of treatment: (1) non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antimalarials, adrenal hormones, such as immunosuppressive agents; (2) TCM; (3) The combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment; (4) social psychology and psychiatric treatment; (5) Physical therapy and medical physics. In view of the treatment of more use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, adrenocorticotropic hormone and immune inhibitors, and often use, treatment length, particularly the incidence of side effects. Therefore, in the attention before and after the administration should: (1) weigh the risks of the treatment effect of the ratio. For the purpose of organ function is to protect important for good prognosis, but the potential treatment side effects, as well as how to harm, not to measure the severity between the two. To achieve the greatest degree of control over the development of the disease, while at the same time, as far as possible to avoid or reduce the side effects of drugs; (2) individual differences in systemic lupus erythematosus, treatment and dose must be individualized, that is the same patients at different stages of the disease, clinical manifestations are not the same, treatment should also be different; (3) various anti-nuclear antibodies, including anti-RNP, anti-Sm, anti-SSA antibodies, and so is an important indicator of disease diagnosis, rather than examination of the indicators. If only anti-nuclear antibody positive without clinical manifestations, the general need treatment, but with high titers of anti-double-stranded DNA antibodies in the patient should be vigilant against the disease activity, especially lupus nephritis.
