[Liver disease in systemic Lupus erythematodes - results of an explorative observational study].

DISCUSSION: Elevated liver parameters occur frequently in patients with SLE, especially in context with increased disease activity (on the basis of ECLAM-Score or intensified immunosuppressive therapy) and prolonged course of the disease. Liver enzymes should be obtained regularly in patients with SLE and, if necessary, further diagnostic steps should be initiated. Further prospective studies might clarify whether abnormal liver parameters must be included in activity indices to judge disease activity in SLE. PMID: 30103221 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
