Lupus affects an estimated 1.5 million people in the United States.1 Patients may present with variable clinical systemic manifestations that can imitate other chronic autoimmune diseases, often leading to diagnostic delays or misdiagnosis.
Labcorp can deliver accurate and early information to inform decisions on diagnosis, treatment and symptom management to help improve patient outcomes. Our comprehensive tests and services help distinguish between SLE and other complex autoimmune disorders across all stages of the patient journey.
Enable early intervention and improve outcomes for your patients
Lupus can be difficult to recognize, as various clinical symptoms may develop at different disease stages and may not occur simultaneously.2 Reducing the delay from symptom onset to diagnosis and treatment of lupus can help suppress inflammation and prevent irreversible organ damage.3
Labcorp's profiles combine multiple autoantibody tests, utilizing various methodologies to help providers with the diagnosis of lupus.
Assess the likely course and outcome of your patient's journey
The prognosis of lupus can be variable, depending on disease severity and organ involvement. As part of our comprehensive portfolio, our prognostic tests can support healthcare providers and their patients across the chronic autoimmune disease journey.
Evaluate your patient's response and help predict flares
Optimize management of your lupus patients
Treatment options for lupus are limited and often include azathioprine, hydroxychloroquine and methotrexate. Therapeutic drug monitoring can not only support ongoing lupus patient management and identify compliance, but it can also help identify targets for clinical benefit.4
