Abstract:
Many autoantibodies have been described in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. However, besides antibodies to dsDNA, the majority of them has not been shown to help the clinician. It is interesting to note that the recently described autoantibodies to C1q strongly correlate with the occurrence or worsening of a preexisting lupus nephritis.
