This session will highlight aspects of childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) beyond the clinical diagnosis and immunosuppressive treatment. The first presentation will discuss genetic associations in cSLE and implications for treatment of sub-phenotypes and monogenic forms of the disease. The second presentation will continue the discussion of the genetic landscape of cSLE from a global population perspective and include review of global disparities in access to care and gaps in research. The third presentation will address psychiatric comorbidity in patients with cSLE and strategies for mental health intervention. Lastly, the fourth presentation will review treatment of hypertension and edema from nephritis, sodium and fluid retention from steroids, BP control of extra-renal vasculitis, and cardiovascular disease in patients with cSLE.
