Symptoms of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
Early symptoms of SLE might be vague,
nonspecific, and easily confused with
other pathological and functional
disorders.
Symptoms may be transient
or prolonged, and individual symptoms
often appear independently of the
others.
Moreover, a patient may have
severe symptoms with few abnormal
laboratory test results, and vice versa.
The below lists the range
of clinical symptoms seen in patients
with lupus over the lifetime of the
disease.
