What are the manifestations of the blood system of lupus erythematosus?
Many people mistakenly think that lupus erythematosus is a blood disease, but it is not. Because lupus erythematosus is very harmful to people's blood system. It is not surprising to have this view. Let's get a patent to talk about the specific manifestations of lupus erythematosus on the blood system. Leukopenia can occur in SLE itself, and cytotoxic drugs against SLE often cause leukopenia, which needs to be differentiated. Leukopenia in SLE usually occurs before treatment or when the disease recurs, and most of them are sensitive to hormone therapy. Leukopenia caused by cytotoxic drugs is related to medication, and its recovery is also regular. Thrombocytopenia is related to platelet antibodies, antiphospholipid antibodies and the maturation disorder of bone marrow megakaryocytes. Some patients are accompanied by lymphadenopathy and/or splenomegaly in the early stage of the disease or in the active stage of the disease. It can be seen that the harm of lupus erythematosus to the blood system is also enormous. Therefore, besides actively cooperating with doctors to treat lupus erythematosus, we should also prevent the occurrence of blood diseases.
