| Summary: | Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multifaceted autoimmune disease affecting various body organs and systems. The diagnosis of SLE and its complications is based on evident clinical symptoms, serological marker levels, and pathological findings. Some serological markers have a low sensitivity and specificity, and biopsy procedures are invasive in nature. Hence, metabolomics has emerged as a valuable tool for SLE screening and categorization. Its application has contributed significantly to identifying SLE pathogenesis, improving clinical diagnosis, and developing treatment approaches. This review provides an overview of the utilization of metabolomics in the study of SLE, focusing on advancements in understanding the disease’s pathogenesis, aiding in diagnosis, and monitoring treatment efficacy. |
