About lupus (SLE)
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), commonly called lupus, is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues. It can affect the skin, joints, kidneys, blood cells, heart, lungs and brain. Common features include a butterfly-shaped rash over the cheeks and nose, sensitivity to sunlight, joint pain and swelling, mouth ulcers, tiredness, fever, hair loss and, in some people, kidney involvement. Lupus runs a course of flares and quieter periods and is more common in women of childbearing age. Diagnosis rests on symptoms, blood tests such as ANA and anti-dsDNA antibodies, urine tests and sometimes a biopsy. Conventional treatment with hydroxychloroquine, steroids and immune-suppressing drugs under a rheumatologist is important to protect the organs, along with sun protection and regular follow-up. Homeopathic treatment is supportive and should never replace this care.
