What is lupus?
Lupus is an autoimmune disease. It is a chronic condition in which the body’s immune system becomes overactive and attacks healthy tissues and organs, leading to inflammation and a wide range of symptoms. Lupus can affect various body parts, including the skin, joints, kidneys, heart, lungs, brain, and blood cells.

Are you experiencing these lupus symptoms?
Joint Pain & Swelling
Lupus often causes joint pain and inflammation.
Skin Rashes
A butterfly-shaped rash across the cheeks and nose, known as a malar rash. Other skin rashes or sores may occur.
Blood Disorders
Anaemia, a decrease in the number of red blood cells, low white cell and low platelet count are associated with lupus.
Oral ulcers/Nasal ulcers
Oral ulcers refer to painful sores that develop inside the mouth. Nasal ulcers are similar sores that occur in the nasal passages.
Alopecia
Partial or complete hair loss, often associated with various factors such as genetics, autoimmune disorders, or medical treatments.
Kidney Problems
Lupus nephritis is a condition where lupus affects the kidneys, leading to kidney inflammation and potential kidney damage. Symptoms include frothy urine or swelling in the legs and ankles.
Shortness of Breath
Lupus-related inflammation in the lungs or heart can lead to breathing difficulties.
Neurological Symptoms
Lupus can affect the central nervous system, leading to symptoms like headaches, memory problems, seizures, or mood disorders.
Fever
Fever is a temporary increase in body temperature, often in response to an infection or illness
Lupus Treatment Options
Lupus treatment addresses the underlying autoimmune response and manages the symptoms and inflammation associated with your condition. The exact treatment plan can vary significantly from one individual to another, depending on the type and severity of lupus and the organs affected.
Corticosteroids
May be administered orally or intravenously via joint injections. Corticosteroids can effectively suppress the immune system’s overactivity and reduce inflammation.
Immunosuppressive medications
For severe cases, medications that further suppress your immune system may be used to control lupus.
Biologics
In some cases, you may be prescribed biologic drugs to target specific immune system components involved in lupus.
Lifestyle modifications
A balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate rest are essential in treating lupus. Sun protection is also crucial, as sun exposure can trigger flares.
Regular monitoring
Monitoring lupus activity through laboratory tests and medical check-ups allows adjustments to your treatment plan as needed.
