Abstract:
This article discusses the status quo of the researches on neuropsychiatric lupus,including its pathophysiological mechanism,clinical manifestation,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis.Cerebrospinal fluid examination,electroencephalography and brain imaging could improve the sensitivity of the diagnosis of neuropsychiatric lupus.Aggressive immunosuppressive agents,high-dose corticosteroids and anticoagulants remain the key to the therapy.However,future researches should focus on the control of long-term relapse and the improvement of the quality of life.
