Abstract:
At the present,systemic lupus erythematosus is a heterogeneous disease in which diagnosis,especially early diagnosis,is always rather difficult.Because of this,the systems of classification criteria for clinical diagnosis,which include recommendations of the American college of rheumatology and the systemic lupus international collaborating clinics,have been utilized since 1971.However,there is still no single biomarker that is pathognomonic for the disease.Currently,the diagnosis still requiresold-fashioned clinical acumen with the assistance of standardized clinical and laboratory criteria.In the light of the commentary,future research may lead us to define subtypes of lupus from a genomic and proteomic standpoint.
