Abstract
CORONEL RESTREPO, Nicolás et al. Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia in systemic lupus erythematosus: narrative review. Rev.Colomb.Reumatol. [online]. 2015, vol.22, n.3, pp.168-173. ISSN 0121-8123. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rcreu.2015.05.004.
Introduction: The clinical spectrum of microangiopathy disorders is vast, and needs a great clinical skill to find the origin, especially in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, in whom it is necessary to consider: associated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, antip-hospholipid syndrome, generally of the catastrophic type; localised microangiopathy, or malignant hypertension. Objective: Using the results reported in the literature, the aim of this article is to describe the frequency, causes and clinical features of thrombotic microangiopathy in systemic lupus erythematosus. Methods: Structured non-systematic review of the literature. Results: The review included a total of 51 articles (42 from database searches and 9 referenced in these) on the previously mentioned variables, were included.
Keywords : Systemic lupus erythematosus Lupus; Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura; Microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia.
