Dr. Aggarwal at the Dr. P.N.Behl skin Institute at zamrudpur GK-1 detected the SLE. more
Renuka LUPUS (SLE) is a serious disease. There is no cure for SLE. The goal of treatment is to control symptoms. Mild disease may be treated with: • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) treat arthritis and pleurisy • Corticosteroid creams to treat skin rashes • An antimalaria drug (hydroxychloroquine) and low-dose corticosteroids for skin and arthritis symptoms You should wear protective clothing, sunglasses, and sunscreen when in the sun. Severe or life-threatening symptoms (such as hemolytic anemia, extensive heart or lung involvement, kidney disease, or central nervous system involvement) often require more aggressive treatment by doctor specialists. Treatment for more severe lupus may include: • High-dose corticosteroids or medications to decrease the immune system response • Cytotoxic drugs (drugs that block cell growth) if you do not get better with corticosteroids, or whose symptoms get worse when the stop taking them. These medicine have serious, severe side effects. You should be closely monitored by your doctor. If you have lupus, it is also important to have: • Preventive heart care • Up-to-date immunizations • Tests to screen for thinning of the bones (osteoporosis) Talk therapy and support groups may help relieve depression and mood changes that may occur in patients with this disease. SLE causes damage to many different parts of the body, including: •Blood clots in the legs (deep vein thrombosis) or lungs (pulmonary embolism) •Destruction of red blood cells (hemolytic anemia) or anemia of chronic disease •Fluid around the heart (pericarditis), endocarditis, or inflammation of the heart (myocarditis) •Fluid around the lungs (pleural effusions) and damage to lung tissue •Pregnancy complications, including miscarriage •Stroke •Severely low blood platelets (thrombocytopenia) •Inflammation of the blood vessels THE CAUSE OF THIS DISEASE IS ALSO NOT KNOWN. WE CAN MAKE HER AS COMFORTABLE AS POSSIBLE. THE DISEASE FLUCTUATES. REGARDS more
