The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of coenzyme Q10 supplementation in pediatric patients with SLE. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What is the impact of coenzyme Q10 supplementation on mitochondrial dysfunction? * Does it have a beneficial effect on disease activity through assessment of the systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) score? Researchers will compare the group of patients that take coenzyme Q10 to a group that doesn't to see if coenzyme Q10 supplementation works to decrease mitochondrial dysfunction and disease activity. Participants will: Take coenzyme Q10 plus the standard treatment of SLE or the standard treatment only every day for 3 months. Visit the clinic once every 4 weeks for checkups and tests.
