Fatigue is a common feature in systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis, but the two diseases differ in their clinical manifestations and treatment approaches. Addressing fatigue in a holistic manner, along with pain, depression, and anxiety, is crucial for improving quality of life in these patients. Further research is needed to better understand and manage fatigue in these conditions.
Fatigue is a common constitutional feature of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). While the two diseases share a common mechanism of autoimmunity, they differ in their clinical manifestations and treatment. Fatigue is one of the most commonly reported symptoms in both groups, associated with pain, depression and anxiety, and affecting function, work and quality of life. Fatigue is not easy to assess or conceptualise. It can be linked to disease activity, although it is not always, and is challenging to treat. Several measures have been trialled in RA and SLE; however, none have been adopted into mainstream practice. Despite being a common symptom, fatigue remains poorly managed in both RA and SLE-more so in the latter, where there have been relatively fewer studies. Additionally, comorbidities contribute to fatigue, further complicating its management. Pain, depression and anxiety also need to be addressed, not as separate entities, but together with fatigue in a holistic manner. Here, we describe the similarities and differences between fatigue in patients with RA and SLE, discuss concepts and practices applicable to both conditions and identify areas for further research. Through this review, we aim to highlight the importance of the holistic management of fatigue in SLE.
