The arthritis in systemic lupus

Posted on January 18th, 2012 by oa

More recently, research has demonstrated evidence that a key enzyme’s failure to dispose of dying cells may contribute the development of SLE. The treatment of systemic lupus involves preventing flares and reducing their severity and duration when they occur. Because the symptoms of lupus can mimic so many other health problems, you may need patience while waiting for a diagnosis. The arthritis of lupus is usually found on both sides of the body and does not cause damage to the joints.
SLE can also flare during pregnancy, and prompt treatment can keep the mother healthier longer. No one knows what causes lupus. Lupus is an autoimmune disease, a type of self-allergy, whereby the patient’s immune system creates antibodies which instead of protecting the body from bacteria & viruses attack the person’s own body tissues.
