[Systemic lupus erythematosus and pregnancy].
Our study strengthens the view that successful pregnancy outcome can be achieved in most patients with SLE, although premature delivery and pregnancy-related complications are common. For the differential diagnosis of preeclampsia and lupus flare in pregnancy, levels of anti-DNA antibodies and complement C3 are valuable parameters. In patients with antibodies to phospholipids, no major clinical problems occurred provided that patients were treated with corticosteroids and low-dose aspirin. However, none of our patients with renal involvement of SLE had an uncomplicated pregnancy course.
