Symptoms of SLE

SLE is short for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, the damage of which is mainly on the kidney in the later time. SLE is a kind of autoimmune disease which begins from skin damage and spreads to the whole body. Generally, 90% patients have damage in the kidney, which directly influences the diagnosis. Patients who are diagnosed with SLE are concerned about the symptoms, which go as follows:
1. Patients with SLE have symptoms in the whole body such as intermitted fever, red spot in face the shape of which looks like butterfly, painless dental ulcer, and swollen pain in joints. In addition, patients can also have abnormal mental condition and pale face after touching cold. After that, face looks purple, and then turns normal.
2. Patients with SLE can also have symptoms in kidney. They can suffer from pure hematuria or pure proteinuria, or hematuria and proteinuria accompanied by edema, sour back or high blood pressure, which is quite similar with renal glomerular nephritis. What’s more, patients can also have hematuria and proteinuria which is accompanied by acute renal function decline.
3. Patients with SLE can also have abnormal physical test such as blood test. The amount of white blood cells decreases or the blood cells decreases, the complement C3 decreases, and the autoantibody shows positive. In addition, renal biopsy can also help diagnose the degree how kidney is damaged.
So from the above, we can get a conclusion that once the disease can not be controlled well, renal failure and even uremia will appear. So once diagnosed with SLE, patients should seize the best opportunity to treat.
In our hospital, we have immunotherapy, which can treat SLE better and the whole therapy can be divided into 6 steps such as immune diagnosis, immune clearance, immune inhibition, immune tolerance, immune adjustment and immune protection. In addition, immunotherapy is also a combination therapy of Chinese medicine and western medicine, which means that it can not only treat SLE but also has no side effects, which is especially suitable for the children and women.
