why hypertension in SLE? a)anti-lo b)anti Ro? c)ds-DNA? d)immunocomplex? e)complement deficiency or anythingelse? can u pls answer me with explanation
The question is not very clear. Hypertension in SLE is related to kidney disease which may be glomerulonephritis or small renal vessel disease in anti-phopholipid syndrome.
In SLE glomerulonephritis the patients are usually ds DNA positive and ds DNA may be eluted from kidney biopsies. Levels correlate with activity of lupus nephritis
Immune complexes containing anti-DNA are deposited in the kidneys in lupus nephritis
Hypocomplementamia is a marker of active renal disease in SLE
Anti Ro and Anti La occur in associated Sjogren's syndrome. Hence these two options may be excluded.
This makes the question extremely difficult to answer. I would welcome further thoughts and discussion
