Cognitive dysfunction in SLE: diagnostic tools, biological correlates and patient impact

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Lupus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease affecting many parts of the body including the brain. Lupus brain fog, or trouble with thinking, concentration and memory, is common, but little is known about why it occurs and what can be done about it. This study aims to improve tools to measure Lupus brain fog, and examine for any predictors, including new biological markers or imaging findings that can identify patients at risk. Effects on patient’s function and well-being will also be measured.
