Overview

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disorder that primarily affects the skin, joints, and internal organs. It can cause a variety of symptoms including fatigue, joint pain, rashes, and fever. Treatment is aimed at reducing inflammation and controlling symptoms with medications such as corticosteroids, antimalarial drugs, and immunosuppressants. Although the exact cause of SLE is unknown, genetics, environmental factors, and hormones may all play a role. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to minimize symptoms and prevent long-term damage. SLE can cause serious complications if left untreated, such as kidney failure and stroke. Awareness of this condition is increasing in order to improve early diagnosis and reduce the long-term impact on patient health.
