Patient's question:
My wife has systemic lupus erythematosus, but she now has severe cerebral edema. Can systemic lupus erythematosus undergo surgery?Doctor's answer:
Lupus patients who have severe anemia can undergo surgery, but blood type identification and cross-matching tests must be performed carefully before the surgery. The surgery should be performed based on the results of the cross-matching test to prevent further hemolytic reactions. Lupus is an immune-related disease associated with abnormal immune function and also has a certain genetic component. If the anemia is severe, hospitalization treatment is necessary.
