Abstract

Lupus is a heterogeneous and inflammatory autoimmune disease that affects the immune system of the body. This disease affects multiple tissues and organs. The most frequent kind of lupus is systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). SLE is an autoimmune illness in which the immune system targets the body's tissues, resulting in extensive inflammation and tissue destruction in the organs involved. Joints, skin, brain, lungs, kidneys, and blood vessels can all be affected. It appears to be a form of B-cell disease in which autoantibodies attack the cells. Systemic lupus erythematosus autoimmune diseases involve different treatment methods. These abnormalities are due to the presence of autoantibodies, and these contribute to the degeneration of the body’s immune system. In this review, we will focus on various therapies, including SLE treatments, such as B-cell therapy, cytokine therapy, interferon targets, and anticomplementary therapies, all of which have become challenging. We will also discuss post-marketing use and ongoing clinical trials, as well as safety and effective doses.

Keywords: Lupus, autoimmune disease, monoclonal antibodies, benlysta, B-cell treatment, interleukin.
