Abstract:
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multiorgan-involved autoimmune disease, and it can overlap organ-specific autoimmune diseases such as autoimmune thyroid diseases, autoimmune hepatitis and inflammatory bowel disease. There may be some association between SLE and these autoimmune diseases, such as common immunological and genetic basis, but the pathogenic mechanism is still unclear. This review focuses on current knowledge regarding the prevalence and possible pathogenesis of SLE overlapping the above three autoimmune diseases.
