Abstract
: Systematic Lupus Erythematosus, a standard autoimmune disease that has many unpredictable flares and involves multiple organs. SLE’s complexity has made it a central focus in the autoimmune research field. This paper examines the clinical heterogeneity of SLE whilst finding out the pathogenesis that causes immunological disorders. This paper has summarised some of the most crucial and commonly seen complications of SLE in different organ systems, along with heterogeneity involving gender and race. SLE is a clinically diverse disease caused by many mechanisms. The analysis revealed underlying triggers, including environmental (UV light, pollution, stress) and genetic (HLA, IRF5, CLq) factors. This essay also summarises how the complication of SLE has developed and shown up through the theory and the principle, such as loss tolerance of self-antigens and the role of apoptotic cell debris. It also includes a section which focuses on the limitations in current understanding, and identifies the challenges we encounter and possible future direction on SLE. The purpose of this study is to provide a conclusive overview that shows both clinical presentation and immunopathogenesis. Aiming to enhance the diagnostic precision and inform more effective treatment strategies.
