A new characteristic of SLE: subclinical vein involvement–an in-depth biochemical and imaging study
Subclinical venous involvement appears to be a novel vascular feature of SLE, reflected by increased VWT and its association with thrombosis and biomarkers. Increased portal vein thickness may indicate vascular risk. Whether these changes result from inflammation or vascular remodelling remains unclear, but their presence irrespective of disease activity highlights their clinical relevance.
