Abstract
ABELLA, Jorge et al. Thyroiditis and pancreatitis as a simultaneous presentation in a patient with lupus nephritis. Case report. Rev.Colomb.Reumatol. [online]. 2018, vol.25, n.2, pp.136-140. ISSN 0121-8123. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rcreu.2017.06.003.
Systemic lupus erythematosus can present with a broad spectrum of symptoms that on some occasions may mask serious complications associated with the same disease. Within these, pancreatitis is an uncommon but high-mortality cause, especially in patients with non-opportune treatment. We report the case of a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus with recent renal and central nervous system involvement that is associated with the onset of pancreatitis and thyroiditis. A satisfactory outcome was obtained with a cyclophosphamide and prednisolone therapeutic regimen.
