Complications Inflammation caused by lupus can affect many areas of your body, including your: Kidneys. Lupus can cause serious kidney damage, and kidney failure is one of the leading causes of death among people with lupus. [mayoclinic.org]
LUPUS NEPHRITIS Some people with SLE have abnormal immune deposits in the kidney cells. This leads to a condition called lupus nephritis. People with this problem may develop kidney failure. They may need dialysis or a kidney transplant. [medlineplus.gov]
Rarely, some people with lupus develop kidney failure, which may require dialysis or a kidney transplant. However, severe kidney damage can usually be prevented by early diagnosis and treatment of lupus. [versusarthritis.org]
Workup

X-Ray
- Pulmonary Infiltrate
The absence of pulmonary infiltrates precluded any lung biopsy. Autopsy revealed malignant angioendotheliomatosis involving multiple organs including the alveolar septa and pulmonary vasculature. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Serum
- Hyponatremia
A 64-year-old man presented with protracted fever, hyponatremia, and mononeuritis multiplex. Inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion was established. The absence of pulmonary infiltrates precluded any lung biopsy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Patients fre- quently develop numerous abnormalities, including hy- poalbuminemia, hyponatremia, hypochloremia, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, abnormal liver and renal function test results, and positive serology for rheumatoid factor and antinuclear [documents.mx]

Other Pathologies
- White Matter Lesions
Although such lesions may occur diffusely throughout the brain in both processes, white matter lesions in CNS vasculitis commonly occur in the deep white matter, and those in ALCL often occur in the subcortical and periventricular white matter ( 1, 12 [ajnr.org]
Unlike the periven- rial (ideally, a cubic centimeter of cerebral cortex, subcor- tricular and white matter lesions seen in patients with IVL, tical white matter, and leptomeninges). [slideshare.net]
- Gliosis
These include nod- when the brain biopsy specimen showed evidence of neu- ules, indurated plaques, and telangiectasis.12,22,23 Consti- ronal lipid degeneration and astrocytic gliosis. [slideshare.net]
Treatment
Although malignant angioendotheliomatosis is usually fatal, early treatment with chemotherapeutic agents is helpful. We review the characteristics and treatment of this uncommon disorder and present an illustrative case. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment Patients received treatment for IVLBCL according to the respective institutional protocols. [doi.org]
Prognosis
In general, the prognosis of Intravascular Large B-Cell Lymphoma of Lung is often poor General information on lymphoma and lymphocytes: Lymphoma is a type of cancer stemming from uncontrollably dividing lymphocytes (type of white blood cells). [dovemed.com]
Organ involvement without cutaneous manifestations can occur and portends a poor prognosis. Approximately 60 cases of intravascular lymphomatosis have been reported in the literature. [go.gale.com]
Reactive angioendotheliomatosis has a good prognosis and usually regresses when the underlying disease, if discovered, is successfully treated. The disease sometimes regresses spontaneously. The prognosis depends on the underlying cause. [emedicine.medscape.com]
The more common malignant form with a fatal prognosis should be termed intravascular or angiotropic lymphoma and is a multifocal systemic disease, which affects especially the small and middle-sized blood vessels of the skin and central nervous system [unboundmedicine.com]
Etiology
Etiology Etiology is still elusive but it is thought to be multifactorial, involving a genetic predisposition. [orpha.net]
Conclusion: This clinical case emphasizes the possibility that angiosarcoma to occur in chronic lymphedema of any etiology, included primary lymphedema of the lower extremities, requiring regular clinical controls in all patients affected by chronic lymphedema [yumpu.com]

Epidemiology
Generally, AL occurs in adults, but to date, no distinctive epidemiological features have been identified, owing to the small number of cases that have been reported in the literature (3). [path.upmc.edu]
Summary Epidemiology Incidence is estimated to be 1/25,000 in USA, and it affects predominantly women. CLE occurs more in patients with a family history of lupus or other autoimmune diseases. [orpha.net]

Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology The pathogenesis of reactive angioendotheliomatosis is still not fully elucidated. [emedicine.medscape.com]
In the former, thromboplastins re- leased from intracytoplasmic granules of leukemic cells are thought to trigger the coagulation mechanism.19 In the latter, the pathophysiology is less clear, although the initiation of DIC may be related to the function [myslide.es]
PATHO-PHYSIOLOGY The pathophysiology of malignant ascites is multifactorial. It is postulated that ascites formation is related to a combination of altered vascular permeability and obstructed lymphatic drainage. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Although there appears to be a possible association between intravascular lymphoma and nodal NHL, the pathophysiologic relationships are poorly understood. [hematologyandoncology.net]
Prevention
Hydroxychloroquine was used in the past to prevent and treat malaria. It is also used to treat lupus-related arthritis, fatigue, rashes, and mouth sores, as well as prevent flares. [rheumatology.org]
Moreover, the effect seemed independent of immune suppression, implying that Plaquenil can directly act to prevent the blood clots. [medicinenet.com]
Treatments focus on reducing symptoms — or inducing remission — and preventing severe complications, such as end-stage renal disease. [medicalnewstoday.com]
Patients with latent TB infection but no active disease may also be treated with antitubercular drugs to prevent development of active disease. See tuberculosis screening. Occasionally surgical excision of localised cutaneous TB is recommended. [dermnetnz.org]
