Lupus

Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues and organs. It can affect various parts of the body, including the skin, joints, kidneys, brain, and other organs. The most common form, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), causes widespread inflammation and can lead to serious complications if left untreated. While the exact cause of lupus is unknown, it is believed to involve a combination of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors.
