💜💜💟💟💟💟💟☯️☯️☯️🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻🟪Lupus is a chronic and complex autoimmune disease, lupus can affect any part of the body causing widespread inflammation and tissue damage in the affected organ. The most commonly impacted areas are the joints, skin, brain, lungs, kidneys and blood vessels. Here are some basic facts about the disease, its symptoms, diagnosis and treatment.
The most common type of lupus is called systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), which affects many parts of the body. Other types of lupus are:
Cutaneous lupus, which causes a rash or lesion on the skin, usually when exposed to sunlight
Drug-induced lupus, similar to SLE, which is caused by an overreaction to certain medications. Symptoms usually disappear once the medicine is stopped.
Neonatal lupus, which occurs when an infant acquires autoantibodies from its mother with SLE (autoantibodies are immune proteins that mistakenly target and react to a person’s own tissues or organs). While skin, liver and blood problems resolve within six months, the most serious problem — congenital heart block — requires a pacemaker.
With that being said….
