Mild SLE also requires lifelong hormone use.
SLE is clinically categorized as an autoimmune disease that involves multiple organs and systems in the body. In mild SLE, only the skin is involved, often with butterfly-shaped erythema on the face. Mild forms are usually treated with low-dose glucocorticoids.
If the treatment is not effective, it can be combined with immunosuppressive drugs such as hydroxychloroquine and tacrolimus. If the kidneys and heart are involved, large-dose glucocorticoid shock treatment is needed. With the gradual control of the disease and the normalization of various indicators, the hormone will be gradually reduced, and even the smallest effective dose will be chosen to maintain the treatment.
If SLE occurs please do not use drugs without authorization, it is recommended to treat under the guidance of the clinician to avoid delaying the condition.
