Pregnancy in women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)

---

Formany years pregnancy has been contraindicated in patients with SLE, particularlywhen kidney involvement was present. Today, pregnancy is no longer considered impossible in women with lupus. Yet, lupus pregnancies are still considered high-risk. The prognosis has considerably improved for pregnant women but the fetal risk, although progressively reduced, is still higher in pregnancies of patients with SLE than in pregnancies of healthy women.Miscarriage, premature delivery, and preeclampsia, as well as heart problems in the baby are the major complications that can occur.
