What Is Lupus?
Lupus is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues within the body. It can affect the joints, skin, kidneys, lungs, blood vessels and other organs, causing a wide range of symptoms that may come and go over time.
Common symptoms can include:
- Fatigue
- Joint pain and stiffness
- Skin rashes
- Muscle aches
- Sensitivity to sunlight
- Episodes of inflammation
Because symptoms can vary significantly between individuals, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are important.
