Treatment Guide
Lupus Clinic
The Lupus Clinic was established by Cleveland Clinic’s Department of Rheumatic and Immunologic Diseases specialists work together with the department’s entire team of rheumatologists to provide streamlined access to the highest quality of care for these complex patients. The clinic unites specialists, including those in rheumatology, nephrology and dermatology, to care for patients with lupus and overlap syndromes.
The clinic is designed for both newly diagnosed patients as well as those with established disease. The clinic’s triage system allows specialists to coordinate care in multiple disciplines and expedites appointments with multiple specialty clinics, including nephrology and dermatology.
Progress has been made in recent years both in diagnoses and treatments for patients with lupus that have resulted in improved outcomes. Multidisciplinary clinics make a positive difference because advanced diagnostic and therapeutic modalities from each specialty are applied to individualized, patient-centered care.
