Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a classical collagen vascular disease, which may cause inflammatory changes in various organs due to autoantibodies. The disease usually begins with mild symptoms such as rash, joint pain, and fever, and occasionally causes organ-threatening and life-threatening conditions, involving the heart, lung or digestive system. In this article, the most recent findings regarding the serious complications associated with SLE, including myocarditis, diffuse alveolar hemorrhage, pancreatitis, and thrombotic microangiopathy are reviewed. These complications are frequently associated with high disease activity of lupus, and sometimes present in combination. The strategy for the treatment of patients with these serious complications includes immunosuppressive therapy, and specific therapy for the affected organs. The efficacy of immunosuppressive therapy is based on observational studies, because of their rarity. We applied available evidence regarding lupus nephritis to these complications. Survival and functional outcome may be influenced by progression of organ failure, and by nosocomial infections. Careful management of infectious diseases is essential to overcome these serious complications of lupus.
