The Clinical Management of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (Books)
(This concise yet comprehensive volume provides clinicians...)
This concise yet comprehensive volume provides clinicians with practical guidance on the diagnosis and management of systemic lupus erythematosus. Revised and updated to reflect recent diagnostic and therapeutic breakthroughs, the book offers expert advice on the day-to-day care of patients with the varied manifestations of this disease. The opening chapters describe the general symptoms of lupus, its immunological mechanisms, and the criteria for diagnosis. A major portion of the book focuses on the manifestations of lupus in specific organ systems--musculoskeletal, cutaneous, cardiac, pulmonary, hematologic, renal, gastrointestinal, and neurologic. Full consideration is given to the psychiatric aspects of lupus and the special problems of pregnant women, children, and adolescents with the disease. Coverage also includes chapters on antiphospholipid syndrome and on lupus-like syndromes related to drugs and environmental factors. The concluding chapters present current guidelines for patient monitoring, therapy, and use of medications.
