Cognitive dysfunction in systemic lupus erythematosus

Despite the high reported prevalence and burden of cognitive dysfunction in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), there is poor understanding of its aetiology, clinical assessment, and management. In part, this lack of understanding is due to conceptual disorganisation in the available literature. In this Review, we address key knowledge gaps in the nomenclature, assessment, and interpretation ...

Cognitive dysfunction (CD) is common in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) but the cause remains unclear and treatment options are limited. We aimed to compare cognitive function in SLE and healthy controls (HCs) using both behavioural and neuroimaging techniques.
Cognitive dysfunction in SLE is common, but clinical risk factors are poorly understood. This study aims to explore the associations of cognitive dysfunction in SLE with disease activity, organ damage, biomarkers and medications. We performed ...

Lupus Cognitive Impairment
Lupus cognitive impairment is a disruption in memory, attention, processing speed, and language that occurs when systemic lupus erythematosus affects the brain, either through inflammation of blood vessels, autoantibodies crossing into neural tissue, or the sheer physiological toll of chronic disease activity.
