Gastrointestinal manifestations associated with systemic lupus erythematosus

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is autoimmune connective tissue disease which leads to multi-system organ failure. The disease is characterized by a variety of symptoms. The presence of gastrointestinal symptoms is often a diagnostic problem, as they may result from the disease, medication side effects, and concomitant diseases of the digestive tract.
