Objective:To explore the possibility of diagnosing and monitoring patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) using the combination of mean platelet volume (MPV) and routine immunoglobulin test. Method:116 patients with SLE were divided into 3 groups according to their clinical characteristics, including 29 patients with renal impairment, 44 cases of active stage and 43 cases of inactive patients. 40 healthy subjects were randomly selected as controls. Subjects were tested for routine blood test and plasma Immunoglobins, such as IgG, IgA, IgM, C3, C4, CH50, CRP. The results were analyzed and the characteristics of each group of subjects were determined, the correlation between test results and diagnosis were studied. Result: In comparison to the control group, the serum level of MPV, C3 and C4 were decreased (P<0.05), and C reactive protein level was elevated (P<0.001) in the three groups of SLE patients. The IgG level in active and inactive SLE patients was increased (P<0.0001), CH50 level was decreased in patients with inactive SLE (P<0.05), IgA level of active SLE subjects was found to be elevated (P<0.05), IgM in patients with renal impairment was decreased (P<0.05). Other than that, no other significant characteristic were found. Conclusion: The pathogenesis of SLE is a complex process involving multiple factors. The changes of MPV, IgG, IgA, IgM, C3, C4, CH50 and CRP in SLE patients are characteristic parameters. The combination of the above indicators can help to determine the diagnosis and staging of SLE. The timely diagnosis and treatment of SLE patients has important clinical significance in protecting the organ function of SLE patients and improving the prognosis.

A B S T R A C TBackground. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmunedisease which has a variety of clinical phenotypes with a complex clinical course.The clinical phenotypes are highly variable which can be characterized by acuteattacks, active periods, controllable or remission. Mean platelet volume (MPV) is astraightforward accessible indicator of platelet activity and is associated withsystemic inflammation. The routine usage of MPV as markers for disease activityin SLE remains problematic. Early detection of disease progression is pivotal in themanagement of SLE for obtaining better outcomes. Objective. The study aimed toconfirm that the measurement of the disease severity in patients with SLE usingMex-SLEDAI has a negative correlation with the decrease of MPV value. Methods.This cross-sectional analytic descriptive study was conducted using secondary datafrom the medical records of patients with SLE older than 18 years of age who werenot taking antiplatelets in the Internal Medicine policlinic of Dr. Sardjito GeneralHospital in 2018. Patients with a previous history of cardiovascular andcerebrovascular events, malignancies, receiving a treatment for infections,including sepsis, chronic infections (i.e. tuberculosis, cytomegalovirus, herpessimplex, herpes zoster), HIV, hepatitis B or hepatitis C, and incomplete data ofmedical record were excluded. The correlation between SLEDAI Mex and MPVvalues was evaluated using the Spearman's correlation test. Results. Sixty-sevensubjects (65 women, 2 men) aged 34 ± 11 years were recruited in the study. Themedian duration of diagnosis was 38,2 ± 45,7 months. Arthritis, skin rash andphotosensitivity were identified in 81,1%, 53,7%, and 46,3% of patients,respectively. The Mex-SLEDAI score ranged from 0 to 16. The average of MPV valueis 9.73 ± 1.21 fL. A significant correlation between MPV and SLEDAI Mex wasobserved (p = 0.03 (p <0.05), r = -0.255). Conclusion. The more severe SLE diseaseactivity (based on the Mex-SLEDAI scoring), the more negative correlation with theMPV value.
