This book will provide an introduction to the epidemiology,
etiology and pathogenesis of the condition while also exploring the
classification, diagnosis, and current and emerging therapies for
systemic lupus erythematosus. Systemic lupus erythematosus is an
autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system mistakenly
attacks healthy tissue. It can affect the skin, joints, kidneys,
brain, and other organs. The underlying cause of the disease is not
fully known, and SLE is much more common in women than in men. It
may occur at any age but most often occurs in people between 10 and
50 years of age. This is the second Adis title from Ronald F van
Vollenhoven, who previously authored Biologics for the Treatment of
Rheumatoid Arthritis.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the available
biologic therapies whilst comparing them to standard disease
modifying anti-rheumatic drugs, and discusses how best to determine
which therapy is most appropriate for an individual patient in the
framework of current guidelines. Biologics for the Treatment of
Rheumatoid Arthritis is an up-to-date and concise practical guide
to the latest therapeutic developments in this field. This book is
an invaluable source of topical information for all rheumatologists
and health care professionals treating patients with rheumatoid
arthritis.
