Pregnancy associated with systemic lupus erythematosus.
Lupus pregnancies may be complicated by difficulties in the diagnosis of flare, by complications related to aPL antibody, complications related to neonatal lupus, and by a high frequency of preeclampsia. Lupus pregnancies are often difficult to manage, but most complications can be anticipated and, with care, successfully managed.
