Lupus Clinical GuidancE

The CITE lupus clinical guidance documents provide healthcare professionals with evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis, assessment, and management of patients with lupus. These guidance documents are developed by an expert panel of clinicians who evaluate the available literature and develop consensus-based recommendations based on the best available evidence.

Lupus is a complex and often unpredictable autoimmune disease that can affect multiple organs and systems in the body. The symptoms and severity of lupus can vary widely from patient to patient, and there is currently no cure for the disease. As a result, clinical guidance documents play an important role in helping healthcare professionals navigate the challenges of diagnosing and treating patients with lupus.

There are currently two CITE lupus clinical guidance documents. The topics are:

Lupus Nephritis
The Appropriate use of Hydroxychloroquine
