Systemic lupus erythematosus

Systemic lupus erythematosus. Light micrograph of a section through a glomerulus (blood filtration structure) from kidney tissue in a case of SLE. This is an autoimmune disorder where the bodys immune system attacks its own organs. Genetic and environmental factors are thought to contribute to its cause. It is often diagnosed when following up a neurological disorder that may be a complication of SLE. Treatment is with immunosuppressant and corticosteroid drugs. A special diet may be needed when the kidneys are affected by this condition. Kidney failure will require dialysis and a kidney transplant. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a light micrograph of a section through a glomerulus, the blood filtration structure found in kidney tissue affected by Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). SLE is an autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own organs. The causes of this condition are believed to be influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Often diagnosed as a result of following up on neurological disorders that may arise as complications of SLE, treatment for this condition involves the use of immunosuppressant and corticosteroid drugs. Additionally, individuals with kidney involvement may require a special diet to manage their symptoms effectively. The magnification level used to capture this image remains unknown but allows us to appreciate the intricate details within the tissue sample. This histological view provides valuable insights into the pathological changes occurring in SLE-affected kidneys. In severe cases where kidney failure occurs, dialysis or even a kidney transplant becomes necessary for survival. As we admire this visually striking photograph, let it serve as a reminder of the importance of medical research and advancements in healthcare that continue to improve our understanding and management of complex conditions like systemic lupus erythematosus.
