Gastroparesis in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Case Report

Abstract: Gastrointestinal symptoms in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are varied and can involve any part of the gastrointestinal tract. Although esophageal dysmotility and intestinal pseudo-obstruction have been described, the occurrence of gastroparesis in SLE patients has yet to be the subject of a medical report. We present a case of a 29-year-old woman with SLE whose predominant symptom is persistent nausea and vomiting with no evidence of mechanical obstruction.

“…Conversely, in gastroparesis patients who show an improvement with prokinetic medications, there was a decreased frequency of depression and anxiety [ 20 - 22 ]. As many as 18% and 31% of gastroparesis patients suffer from severe depression and severe anxiety, respectively, leaving a sizeable population with a limited prognosis [ 23 - 25 ]. Despite this strong evidence linking gastroparesis to depression and anxiety, there is currently not enough evidence that can help ascertain which interventions would be most helpful or how they would improve outcomes.…”
