Based on SLICC criteria, for an SLE diagnosis, the patient should have either at least 4 of 17 criteria, including at least 1 of the 11 clinical criteria and one of the six [[Immunological|immunologic]] criteria (for each criterion, any bullet is considered as 1 clinical criteria), or a biopsy-proven [[nephritis]] compatible with [[SLE]] in the presence of [[Antinuclear antibodies|antinuclear antibodies (ANA)]] or [[Double stranded DNA antibody|anti-double-stranded DNA]] (dsDNA) [[antibodies]].

SLICC criteria for the classification of systemic lupus erythematosus
In 2012, Systemic Lupus International Collaboration Criteria (SLICC) developed a new criteria for SLE diagnosis. SLICC criteria for the classification of [[systemic lupus erythematosus]] was developed based on the old ACR criteria for the classification of [[systemic lupus erythematosus]] to address a more sensitive diagnostic criteria and also to cover weaknesses of the previous ACR criteria.<ref name="pmid7138600">{{cite journal |vauthors=Tan EM, Cohen AS, Fries JF, Masi AT, McShane DJ, Rothfield NF, Schaller JG, Talal N, Winchester RJ |title=The 1982 revised criteria for the classification of systemic lupus erythematosus |journal=Arthritis Rheum. |volume=25 |issue=11 |pages=1271–7 |year=1982 |pmid=7138600 |doi= |url=}}</ref><ref name="pmid9324032">{{cite journal |vauthors=Hochberg MC |title=Updating the American College of Rheumatology revised criteria for the classification of systemic lupus erythematosus |journal=Arthritis Rheum. |volume=40 |issue=9 |pages=1725 |year=1997 |pmid=9324032 |doi=10.1002/1529-0131(199709)40:9&lt;1725::AID-ART29&gt;3.0.CO;2-Y |url=}}</ref>

Overview

Based on SLICC criteria, for an SLE diagnosis, the patient should have either at least 4 of 17 criteria, including at least 1 of the 11 clinical criteria and one of the six immunologic criteria (for each criterion, any bullet is considered as 1 clinical criteria), or a biopsy-proven nephritis compatible with SLE in the presence of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) or anti-double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) antibodies.

Diagnostic criteria

In 2012, Systemic Lupus International Collaboration Criteria (SLICC) developed a new criteria for SLE diagnosis. SLICC criteria for the classification of systemic lupus erythematosus was developed based on the old ACR criteria for the classification of systemic lupus erythematosus to address a more sensitive diagnostic criteria and also to cover weaknesses of the previous ACR criteria.[1][2]

Based on SLICC criteria, diagnosis of SLE is defined as:[3]

  • Meeting at least 4 of 17 criteria, including at least 1 of the 11 clinical criteria and one of the six immunologic criteria 

OR

A criterion is considered positive if one or more of the observations listed in the definition for the criterion are present in the patient. A criterion should only be counted once, regardless of the number of observations in the definition that the patient presents with.
