SLE (systemic lupus erythematosus) is a relatively common
disease. It occurs at an age to have children. Concomitant pregnancy leads to
many complex clinical problems because there is a difficult to explain disorder
and multiple organ involvement in the immune system. Pregnancy immunology
complicates the event. When SLE patients become pregnant, 1/3 of them suffer
from mild complaints, 1/3 of them have increased complaints, and 1/3 of them do
not change.
If the disease has been in the silent phase for at least 6
months before conception, there is no kidney involvement and proteinuria, if
superimposed preeclampsia has not developed during pregnancy, and
antiphospholipid antibodies are negative, SLE is expected to progress more
smoothly during pregnancy.
The most common conditions associated with SLE in pregnancy
are recurrent miscarriages, intrauterine growth retardation, preterm labor,
preeclampsia, neonatal lupus and stillbirth. Recurrent miscarriages due to SLE
are often related to antiphospholipid antibodies.
Pregnant women with SLE disease are regularly evaluated by
obstetricians and rheumatologists. These follow-ups should be once a week in
the last period of pregnancy. The development of the baby should also be
followed frequently.
- Anti SS-A (Anti-Ro) and Anti SS-B (Anti-La) antibodies in
the mother during pregnancy can pass to the baby and cause congenital heart
block. Fetal echo should be done in pregnancies with these antibodies.
