The previously reported studies have linked certain nutrients with the severity and risk of systematic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The results have reported that vitamin D and moderate alcohol intake can lower the severity of the SLE. However, very few information is available on the effect of diet on the treatment of SLE. As glucocorticoids are prescribed for the management of SLE, the investigators designed a study to investigate the influence of diet on the GCs in the treatment of SLE patients.
Glucocorticoids (GC) are very effective in the management of inflammation but long-term treatment is associated with side effects. GC treatment also reflects disease activity in patients with SLE with dose level change. Here in this study researchers have explored the effect of diet on the GCs in the treatment of SLE patients. Method: Total 111 patients were selected on the basis of…
