LAS VEGAS – Pregnancy outcomes can be excellent in women with lupus, but they need help to make sure everything goes okay.

Rheumatologist Dr. Jennifer Grossman, director of lupus clinical investigational research at the University of California, Los Angeles, knows how to do it right. In a video interview at the annual Perspectives in Rheumatic Diseases held by Global Academy for Medical Education, she discussed tips on managing pregnancy in lupus patients, including the use of hydroxychloroquine to prevent flares, azathioprine to treat lupus nephritis, and aspirin to reduce the risk of preeclampsia.
