It’s been over two decades since the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) last released comprehensive treatment guidelines for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and much has changed. In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Lisa Sammaritano to discuss the forthcoming 2025 ACR Guidelines for the Treatment of SLE. These updated recommendations reflect a significant evolution in our approach to lupus care, from the growing range of therapeutic options to a stronger emphasis on patient engagement and minimizing steroid toxicity. We’ll dive into how the guidelines tailor treatment across diverse organ systems and patient populations, and what clinicians need to know to effectively incorporate these updates into their practice.
