ForwardThe Future of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Diagnosis and Treatment: A Discussion with the Experts (RP2205A)
The General Attendee Zoom links for the live broadcast will be available on the Whova Conference Agenda the day of the event.
Registration will close at 7:30 AM on May 7. Learners who enroll after 5pm on May 6 will gain access to the Whova site by 8:15 AM on May 7.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease that is difficult to diagnose and challenging to treat. It can involve multiple organ systems, leading to significant reduction in both the quality of life and overall lifespan of affected individuals. Despite published criteria designed for research studies, it remains difficult to recognize patients in practice, especially early in the course of disease. The management of patients is hampered by the lack of modern treatment guidelines and only a few therapies specifically developed for lupus. This symposium, designed for physicians and researchers, will bring SLE experts together to explain, via didactic lecture and case studies, current information on the cause of this mystifying illness, identify the best way to identify patients in practice, and describe the current and future therapies for lupus patients.
