SELENA-SLEDAI domains are scored accordingly: constitutional (fever), mucocutaneous (vasculitis, rash, alopecia, mucosal ulcers), neuropsychiatric (psychosis, seizure, organic brain syndrome, cranial nerve disorders, lupus headache, CVA), musculoskeletal (arthritis, myositis), cardiorespiratory (pleurisy, pericarditis), renal (urinary casts, haematuria, proteinuria, pyuria), haematological (low complement, thrombocytopenia, leucopenia), immunological (increased DNA binding), ophthalmological (visual disturbance).
