    Serum protein levels in systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) patients remained stable. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) and Immunoglobulin M (IgM) levels showed dynamic changes, while Immunoglobulin A (IgA) increased during the disease course.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Rheumatology
    • Clinical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease.
    • Understanding the dynamics of serum proteins and immunoglobulins in SLE is crucial for disease monitoring.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the longitudinal changes in serum total protein, albumin, and immunoglobulin (IgG, IgM, IgA) concentrations in patients with SLE.

    Main Methods:

    • Serum samples were collected from 39 patients diagnosed with SLE.
    • Concentrations of total protein, albumin, IgG, IgM, and IgA were measured at diagnosis and during follow-up.

    Main Results:

    • Serum total protein and albumin levels remained stable throughout the disease course.

  • Immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels were elevated at diagnosis and normalized during follow-up.
  • Immunoglobulin M (IgM) levels showed an inverse pattern to IgG.
  • Immunoglobulin A (IgA) levels, normal at diagnosis, increased progressively during the disease course.

    • Conclusions:

    • Serum total protein and albumin are stable biomarkers in SLE.
    • Distinct dynamic patterns of IgG, IgM, and IgA concentrations are observed in SLE patients.
    • IgA dynamics may reflect ongoing disease activity or specific immune responses in SLE.
