Abstract

Objectives: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a complex, multisystem autoimmune inflammatory disease. The inflammatory response in SLE exacerbates oxidative stress which tends to promote lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation and damage to DNA. Documentation of manifestation of DNA damage in SLE patients is scarce and related studies have not come to attention from this part of the world, therefore the present study showcases a case report on SLE. Methods: Assessment of DNA damage in peripheral blood leukocytes and oxidative stress biomarkers in blood sera of a 12y-old male presenting with SLE and nephropathy (on dialysis therapy) was made.
