[Neuropsychiatric disorders in systemic lupus erythematosus: a multidisciplinary review].
Neuropsychiatric alterations appear in 14-75% of lupic patients. Verified in 59% of the patients, psychiatric changes are the most frequent. Psychic symptoms are primarily related to the disease and secondary to uremia, hypertension, infection, and corticosteroids. Manifestations were also seen as a reaction to this chronic disease, which are potentially severe and causing many limitations to the patients. The authors review the literature considering the multidisciplinary aspects of this disease related to its pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and treatment.
