Belimumab-driven reductions in retinal microvascular density assessed by optical coherence tomography angiography: insights from systemic lupus erythematosus patients
LN patients demonstrated distinct retinal microvascular alterations. Long-term Belimumab and HCQ treatments were associated with decreased retinal VD. Regular retinal health monitoring was recommended to prevent microvascular complications in SLE patients undergoing prolonged treatment.
