Clinical evaluation of SLE was made on the groundwork of ACR diagnostic criteria by advisor rheumatologists.

SLE non pregnant (N=11) and wholesome non pregnant command (N=12) were obtained at lone time point. All pregnant and non pregnant were employed inside a variety of reproductive age. The main maternal age (± SD) of SLE patients was 34.9 ± 3.7 years (range, 30 - 39); in SLE non pregnant women was 33.5 ± 7.6 years (range, 20 - 41). The signify (± SD) age of infection onset in SLE patients was 22 ± 2.7 years and the signify infection length (± SD) in SLE pregnant and non pregnant was of 12.8 ± 3.7 and 11.60 ± 5.2 years respectively.  In wholesome command the major maternal age was 31.2 ± 5.5 (range, 24 - 42) and in wholesome non pregnant assembly was 28.5 ± 6.5 (range 18 - 38).
