Abstract:Objective To probe into the efficacy and safety of Cyclophosphamide combined with human immunoglobulin in treatment of elderly patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods From October 2012 to February 2014, 74 SLE patients were selected in our hospital. With random number table, the patients were divided into study group and control group. There were 37 cases in each group. The patients in the control group were treated with Cyclophosphamide. The patients in the study group were treated with Cyclophosphamide combined with human immunoglobulin. The clinical effect, the systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) before and after treatment, 24-h urine protein and the incidences of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results Compared with the control group, the significant efficiency and total efficiency of clinical treatment were increased, the inefficiency was significantly decreased in the study group. After treatment SLEDAI score and 24-h urine protein level were decreased, the incidences of adverse reactions including hypertension and high blood cholesterol were decreased significantly; and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusions Cyclophosphamide combined with human immunoglobulin could not only improve the clinical treatment efficacy, but also further reduce the incidences of adverse reactions, and improve the treatment safety for elderly patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.
