Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects various organs or systems. We performed metabolomic and lipidomic profiles analyses of 133 SLE patients and 30 HCs. Differential metabolites and lipids were integrated, and then the biomarker panel was identified using binary logistic regression. We found that a combination of four metabolites or lipids could distinguish SLE from HC with an AUC of 0.998. Three lipids were combined to differentiate inactive SLE and active SLE. The AUC was 0.767. In addition, we also identified the biomarkers for different organ phenotypes of SLE. The AUCs for diagnosing SLE patients with only kidney involvement, skin involvement, blood system involvement, and multisystem involvement were 0.766, 0.718, 0.951, and 0.909, respectively. Our study succeeded in identifying biomarkers associated with different clinical phenotypes in SLE patients, which could facilitate a more precise diagnosis and assessment of disease progression in SLE.
