An Overview of Lupus
WHAT IS LUPUS?Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease
where the immune system mistakenly
attacks the body’s healthy tissues. It can
affect the skin, joints, kidneys, lungs,
heart, and other organs, causing
inflammation and pain. People with lupus may experience
fatigue, joint pain, skin rashes, fever,
and swelling. Symptoms often come
and go in cycles, known as flares,
which can range from mild to severe. Diagnosing lupus can be challenging
since symptoms mimic other diseases.
Blood tests (like ANA), urine tests, and
imaging studies help doctors confirm
the diagnosis and assess organ
involvement.
While there’s no cure for lupus,
treatments such as medications,
lifestyle changes, and regular checkups
help control inflammation, reduce
symptoms, and prevent organ damage.
